[build 200508101800] (assume you have done cvs co stable_nowww) - start with new userdir - open nbbuild project with all its dependencies => NPE when classpath scanning progress shows 100%, then this exception is thrown again and again and the only way how to shutdown IDE is via Control+Break or kill command from other console|term/workspace then the IDE is running in (because Exception dialog is taking focus and it's hard to catch a while when the focus is in console/term to press Control+Break there).

from what I see it's hardly a progress component issue, reassigning to java for evaluation.
