Description Peter Lam 2008-11-05 01:15:31 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.5 RC2 (Build 20081104041628)
Java: 1.6.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b23
System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

From the Platform Manager, adding an invalid platform logs PythonException in ide log file. See attached ide log file
for exceptions.
If an invalid or inappropriate platform is added, displaying an informational or warning message would help users
understand what the problem is.

add an already listed platform also throws the same exception. Showing an informational/warning message would be more
user-friendly.

In my case, I get the same exception right after the "New Python Project" panel comes up. See issue 152462 for more detail.
