Description lvwarren 2004-05-30 05:09:15 UTC 
Tonight I checked for netbeans updates and 
installed PMD 0.91.

After this install inserting ANY component using 
the form editor producted the following error 
dialog.

This has completely broken my netbeans 3.6 
installation, which i am removing and 
reinstalling.

Dialog box reads:
A java.lang.NullPointerException exception has 
occurred.
Please report this at

The ide.log file is located in your C:\Documents 
and Settings\Administrator\.netbeans\3.6\system 
folder.

This bug completely prevents use of NetBeans 3.6 with Java 1.5.
I have rolled back to NetBeans 3.51.

What method exists, other than random polling, to determine whether 
this issue has been resolved, since it originates in the JDK?

Thanks for your efforts.

A bug has been filled against JDK. See
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5001842
It is said to be fixed in JDK1.5.0 beta2 that has been
already released. So, download the latest release and
the problem should disappear.
