I did a fresh s1s build and cleaned out my user and projects dir. I closed the default project (another NPE, separately entered) I created a new web app project in my ~Projects dir. When I hit next after giving it a name "WS" I got: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.spi.looks.Look.removeLookListener(Look.java:562) at org.netbeans.spi.looks.ProxyLook.removeLookListener(ProxyLook.java:1166) at org.netbeans.spi.looks.ProxyLook.removeLookListener(ProxyLook.java:1166) at org.netbeans.spi.looks.ProxyLook.removeLookListener(ProxyLook.java:1166) at org.netbeans.spi.looks.AccessorImpl.removeLookListener(AccessorImpl.java:36) at org.netbeans.api.nodes2looks.LookNode$FirerImpl.run(LookNode.java:842) at org.openide.util.Utilities$ActiveQueue.run(Utilities.java:2453) [catch] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)
looks like a problem in looks, cannot see web module anywhere in stack trace
