Description billwalton76104 2008-08-31 16:51:11 UTC 
I'm running NetBeans 6.0.1 Ruby-only distro on Ubuntu 8.0.4.  I'm printing to a shared Windows XP printer.  I can print
successfully from other applications (e.g., FireFox) but not from NetBeans.  Selecting 'Print' from the File menu throws
an 'Unexpected Exception": java.lang.NullPointerException exception has occurred.  I would have attached the
messages.log file except that it is empty.

Comment 2 Petr Dvorak 2008-08-31 20:32:00 UTC 
This issue is reported agains 6.0.1, therefore it is probably not present in 6.5 due to new printing API. I am lowering
the priority to P3 (normal) for this reason, please feel free to raise the priority if the problem persists.

Comment 4 billwalton76104 2008-08-31 23:26:31 UTC 
I've installed the 6.5 beta (Ruby-only), again on Ubuntu 8.0.4, and the problem persists.  I've attached a log showing
the installation, opening an existing, very small .rb file, and an attempted print.  I've changed the 'Version' to 6.5
and changed the'Priority' back to P1.  Please let me know if I can be of assistance.
Comment 5 Vladimir Yaroslavskiy 2008-09-01 11:46:09 UTC 
It is bug in jdk 6 on Linux, CR 6741351.
It can not be fixed by NetBeans team, so closing as WONTFIX.

WORKAROUND: use jdk 1.5.
