NetBeans 3.5 RC1 has a problem with Help if PlasticLookAndFeel is loaded. None of the help functions is working. All you see is a small window with no content. This problem did not exist with the beta version of 3.5 My settings in ide.cfg are: -J-DPlastic.tabStyle=Metal -ui com.jgoodies.plaf.plastic.PlasticLookAndFeel
Reassigning to core
A NullPointerException is thrown when I Help > Contents ide.log will be uploaded

I already had an email conversation with Karsten about this. He said he has fixed it in a later version of Plastic L&F - if you download a new copy, it should work.
Plastic Look & Feel is working great now including Help functions. For anybody interested the file to download from www.jgoodies.com is looks-nc-20030505.zip
