I don't uderstand this report. I see a NullPointerException in looks. What does that "infinite loop" mean? Could you please explain this to me?
Infinite loop mean, that the IDE did a strange thing: it repeatedly throw exceptions. This process was endless.
This is a looks problem -- note the exception trace. The same exception appears often in other occasions. JarPackager probably catalyzes the problem as it sweeps over all source/resouce/build target descriptors and tries to acquire looks for them. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 35380 ***
