I have an application that tries to create a link (DataShadow) of a jsp 
dataobject, using

DataObject lnk=d.createShadow(destFolder),

where d is the source dataobject (of jsp), destFolder is the destination folder.

After the link gets created the IDE (NB4.1) throws a NullPointerException after 
15 seconds.

I have figured out the root cause of this issue (FS bug#6220423). It seems to 
be a bug in the NB4.1 code
(/web/jspsyntax/.../ErrorAnnotation.java:84)

- the root cause of this bug is NB4.1 in
/web/jspsyntax/.../ErrorAnnotation.java:84

---------------------------------------------------
    public void annotate(ErrorInfo[] errors){
...      
        // The approriate JText component
        JTextComponent component = editor.getOpenedPanes()[0]; <--- Null ptr
is thrown here if the document is not open while jsploader anaylses copied
document.
--------------------------------------------------------------------


In Summary, I would like NB4.1 to be fixed with the following line. Is fixing 
ErrorAnnotation.java is possible now.

/web/jspsyntax/.../ErrorAnnotation.java:84

---------------------------------------------------
    public void annotate(ErrorInfo[] errors){
  ...
       if(editor.getOpenedPanes()==null)
          return;

        // The approriate JText component
        JTextComponent component = editor.getOpenedPanes()[0];
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Note:
The NPE goes away, if I try to open (editor.open()) the jsp lnk immediately 
after create. Since this guarantees
"editor.getOpenedPanes()[0]" to return non-null. But this workaround will cause 
other issues, like IDE hang. I tried to enclose the editor.open() within a 
swing thread, but still there is deadlock.
