Description pcdinh 2005-09-16 17:57:36 UTC 
I just installed fresh NetBeans 5.0 dev build 200509151800 on Windows XP SP1,
Java 5.0 update 4.

The installation went smoothly. After that I launched Netbeans, closed the
Welcome screen  using the cross sign at the corner of the panel and tried to
open it again using Help-> Welcome screen, a dialog windows appear, stating that
Unexpected Exception occured. The same situation happened when I dit the same
with About menu item.

Log file has been attached.

Comment 2 pcdinh 2005-09-16 18:01:08 UTC 
In think you should update the guide on the error dialog window in this case. It
told me that: 

A java.lang.NullPointerException exception has occurred.
Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/issues.html,
including a copy of your messages.log file as an attachment.
The messages.log file is located in your C:\Documents and
Settings\Apache\.netbeans\dev\var\log folder.

The address http://www.netbeans.org/issues.html seems to be outdated. It should
be http://www.netbeans.org/community/issues.html

Thanks for your great product.

This is P1, reproducible on Linux (NB 5.0 (200509181800), JDK 6.0 (b51) ).

Once the user got this exception, the same exception is thrown again and again
(try to invoke popup menu in Projects view, invoke main menu ....)

pcdinh,
I've filed separate issue 64632, to change the adress in Exception dialog.
Comment 4 _ pkuzel 2005-09-19 12:24:57 UTC 
Not reproducible on Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.5.0_06-ea-b02).

I can remove all focus related code from the welcome. It's safe as mouse only
operation was required.
