This can not be reproduced. I checked dev version, pure 8.1 and 9.1 with exactly the same update as user has. I think something was broken in user directory. However sure null check should be added. Fixed in http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/38d095c10863

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201609090002* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/38d095c10863 User: Vladimir Kvashin <vkvashin@netbeans.org> Log: fixed #267937 - NullPointerException at org.netbeans.modules.remote.ui.NewRemoteProjectAction.performAction
I realized the bug shows up when the C/C++ plugin is not installed in the IDE. However, a proper error message should be displayed to let the developer know how to fix it, instead of producing a dump of the Java stacktrace :)
(In reply to ajavier from comment #5) You use 8.1 (IDE log shows: NetBeans IDE 8.1 (Build 20151231-debian-8.1). This bug is fixed in 8.2. Please upgrade to 8.2 (and please allow IDE to get updates since a patch to 8.2 has been done, but this patch is not included into 8.2 distribution, only into the update center).
