ferrybig: My licences where bugged. When I create a new file, it always state that there is a syntax error in the first line because of the text that says licence file not found. So I wanted to fix the problem by oing into my project options, then clicking on licence files, and open the global Licence files. Here I clicked the licences directory at the left and pressed "Revert to default". After this the directory with the licences was gone. Confused I closes al the windows and reopened my project properties, then netbeans started acting up and not changing the screen to the Licence options when I pressed it. Then I was this error Notification.

Already reported it. The exception still happens after trying to access the "License Headers" property of the project.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
