This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Note: This only happens using JDK SE6u12, I could reproduce on both Linux and Windows Vista with NetBeans 6.1 and 6.5. I recently decided to give NB6.5 another test run on Linux. I downloaded the 'SE edition' and added any required plugin afterwards. After I set everything up I tried adding a new Glassfish server specification using the right mouse button on the "server" tab in the "Services" window but all I got was a NullPointerException. At first I suspected a 6.1-only issue after noticing that it reacted the same. I removed the $HOME/.netbeans/6.5 directory and started over, this time not importing settings and only installing the Java EE support and Glassfish v1,2 plugins. Same problem occurred. After that I tried stripping 6.1 to the core, only adding Java EE and Glassfish support. The exact same behavior; NullPointerException after trying to add a server. Eventually I tried using an older JDK (SE5u16) using the --jdkhome parameter and after doing so I could once more get into the "Add server wizard". The other way around also applies; now my NB 6.5 defaults to SE6u7, but when I override this to point explicitly to SE6u12 the problem occurs again. Finally I can re-produce this problem in Windows Vista as well. I cleanly installed SE6u12 (installed u12, then removed u11. Now I wish I hadn't :)) and then installed NB 6.5 and added the EE plugins. After setting it all up I cannot add a new server.
