When trying to install modules in a freshly installed NB3.5RC1 the following exception is thrown and the installation doesn't continue: Annotation: Exception occurred in Request Processor java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.Downloader.download(Downloader.java:168) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.Downloader.downloadAll(Downloader.java:138) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.Downloader.access$300(Downloader.java:31) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.Downloader$1.run(Downloader.java:76) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:136) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:328) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:670)
The exception is thrown only when trying to install the "Javadoc UI Helper" module
The module should not even be listed to begin with. It was already folded into the standard distribution for 3.4.1. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 33237 ***
