Description bljohnson 2002-10-21 22:44:21 UTC 
Here is the NPE stack trace - I'm having a hell of a time 
trying to get NetBeans integrated with PVCS.  I either get 
constant NP exceptions or the PCLI commands fail.

Here's that exception:

Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2002-10-22 09:39:30 UTC 
You've set some variable with a null value somehow. And Hashtable can
not contain null values. I've no idea how did you do it though.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2002-10-22 09:43:51 UTC 
Fixed in the main trunk. To be more robust, I check for null values of
provided variables.

Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-11-08 11:09:18 UTC 
Could you please confirm that it's fixed ? Thanks !
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-11-13 15:30:19 UTC 
Silence means it's okay ? Verified in development build #200211131011
of NetBeans 4.0 instead of reporter.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-12-03 09:55:34 UTC 
Hi. This issue is marked as 3.4.1_CANDIDATE. It means that it should be
integrated into release341 one branch. The plan at
http://www.netbeans.org/devhome/docs/releases/34/index.html expected beta1 to be
produced on Dec01. That did not happen due to a lot of outstanding not
integrated candidates like this one. 

Would it be possible to spend few minutes by backporting this fix? Thank you in
advance.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2002-12-05 14:29:48 UTC 
Merged into release341 branch.

Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 13:03:33 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
