Description rkjack1 2003-04-16 19:05:19 UTC 
I opened the Javadoc search index, performed a search, 
two results came back, click once on the first entry, then 
once on the second entry, then click once on the first 
entry again.  I get an Unexpected Exception window with a 
java.lang.NullPointerException.  Details:
 
    java.lang.NullPointerException
[catch] at javax.swing.JEditorPane$PageLoader.run
(JEditorPane.java:556)

Works fine for me (nb dev build, JDK 1.4.2 on Linux). Probably some
race condition? Anyway you need to attach a complete log file in order
to even guess what might be wrong - the exception is after all being
thrown from inside Swing code, not NetBeans. And be specific about
*what* search you did and what results you clicked on (if the Javadoc
corresponds to some well-known and available set, e.g. the JDK's Javadoc).

  The java doc search for a class of mine.  Not a JDK 
class.  The steps to recreate it are:

  1. view -> java doc search engine
  2. search for a class in one of your own mounted javad 
doc directories
  3. double click on one of the entries found opening up 
(internet explorer) in my case.
  4. Close all instances of internet explorer
  5. Single click random entries in the javadoc list of 
results.
  6. I get the following pop-up:

      A java.lang.NullPointerException has occurred.  
Please report this at 
http://www.netbeans.org/devhome/issues.html, including a 
copy of your ide.log file as an attachment.

I get the same error on Windows XP Home PC. The following steps
recreate the situation:

1) Start NetBeans IDE 3.5.1
2) Perform a Javadoc Index search on the class String by
placing cursor over String in your source file, then press Shift F1 to
bring up Javadoc Index search
3) Scroll down to entry for constructor String(String)
4) Click on entry String(String) - Constructor for class.java.lang.String

NullPointerException is triggered.

[batch] Giving up javadoc issues exclusive ownership.
Comment 9 Jan Becicka 2004-08-02 15:07:43 UTC 
Cannot reproduce in promo-D. Please reopen if you can reproduce it in
latest builds. Thanks

Probably JDK bug (JavaBugParade 4280532 and
4479067)
