I got window with NullPointer exception when IDE started or I dblclick on WEB module.
Created attachment 12642 [details] ide.log
Looks like the root cause is in the deployment descriptor handling. Assigning to Milan.
I changed the code, because the actual SAXException was changed to IOException and the exception message was swalloved in the code. Please, try to use the latest build with your web module. It would be also useful to attach the test case - web module that caused the exception. There is an indication that something was wrong with web.xml file.
When IDE started NullPointer exception was disappear, but when I create test project, when add to it WEB module, switch to project window (Window->Project) and dbl click on WEB module, I got exception again (but another java.lang.AssertionError).

The last exception is the same as the exception from 38175.
Now it seems that 38175 has already been fixed. However, there are still 2 issues : 1. Problem with web module execution when Tomcat is running (38318) 2. AssertionError when double click on web module in project view (38386) I made this issue depending on 38318 and 38386.
I left the dependancy on 38375 that seems to be resolved already.
It seems that only 38386 persists. The 38318,38175 were fixed/closed. I am changing the status to FIXED as the primary issue has already been fised.
