Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2002-07-26 13:20:54 UTC 
I cannot reproduce it on Solaris5.8 & [jdk1.4.0](01), neither on W2000
& [jdk1.4.0](01)

NullPointer from FileEditor :

rg.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.FileEditor.createHackedFileChooser(FileEditor.java:367)
- there is only constructor for JFileChooser and from constructor
arise exception.

CC'ing Ales K. (owner of property editors) for investigation.
Comment 5 vincewebb 2002-07-27 01:33:56 UTC 
I got over the problem. I removed java 1.4 installed Java 1.3.1 and
Netbeans started working OK.

I guess something was wrong with my java 1.4 installation ?

I don't understand where could be a problem. In NB code we just call:
new JFileChooser(), and then NPE is then generated from JDK code.
You can try to file a bug against JDK..
