Description rembrand 2009-07-19 20:40:21 UTC 
I'm doing the Java Web Component Developer course.

The intructions coming along say :

Install the Sun Java System Application Server 9.0 Update 1
Install the NetBeans IDE 5.5, 
and add the Application Server to the NetBeans IDE

Now here is where the issue occurs :

When pressing the Add Server button in the dialog that appears after choosing Tools -> Server Manager
I get a nullPointerException 

Javaversion is 1.6.0_14

This is a duplicate of issue 157948 - known problem with JDK 1.6 update 13 and later. The workaround is to either switch
to NetBeans 6.5.1 or later, or use an older JDK 6 update release (6 update 12 or older).
