If any UI other than the default is used for Netbeans by using the -ui switch in the ide.cfg file eg. -ui com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel then the AutoUpdate component causes a null pointer error directly after connecting to all the update centers and before displaying the available updates. ide.log is attached.
