Description wjbug 2004-12-28 16:25:11 UTC 
I've attached the log file for the NPE reported as
I tried to close a web project.

This same error came up when I launched NB 4.1
(Q-build from 12-20-2004) with an existing web
project previously left open in the IDE.

This happens to projects created in NB 4.0 and opened in NB 4.1 EA.
Will be fixed.

Dear NB developers,

This project - created in NB 4.0 - was a "Web Pjt w/existing sources".
 It didn't have many of the typical directories created when you build
a new Web Pjt from scratch.

I went through the pjt directory and altered/added directory names to
conform with the structure created when building a web pjt de novo -
e.g., test, making sure the web app directory is called "web", etc.

Once I did this, the NPE disappeared.

Thanks for help resolving this problem.

Cheers,
Bill Bug
