When I run Netbeans, after it starts up it throws exception after exception. The java process will expand to over 128 megs and then the PC will just slow down and I have to kill Netbeans using the windows manager. Everytime I try to see the error the exception window is refreshing so fast I can't see the individual excpetion. After taking a screen shot I got the following "A java.lang.NullPointer Exception has occurred - report this issue to....[this URL]...including a copy of your messages.log file as an attachment, the messages log file is located in your [.....] directory. There is no messages.log file in the indicated directory, so I cannot include the log file - sorry. This happens over and over again basically I cannot run Netbeans anymore and expect to have to reinstall it. From memory it was fine until the ui tried to do a method lookup when I hesitiated on an access operator - something like "String name = student." (student being an object). And now it just throws excpetions nonstop even after restart. I tried deleting the 'nbproject' directory and recreating the project (it is a j2ee ant scripted project), but it still just throws errors. Just testing it again and got a copy of the exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.JMManager.scanFiles(JMManager.java:1077) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.JMManager.resolveCPRoot(JMManager.java:1006) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.JMManager.resolveCodebases(JMManager.java:815) at org.netbeans.modules.javacore.JMManager$2.run(JMManager.java:769) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:493) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:926) hope this helps, will try reinstalling Netbeans tomorrow and see what happens... cheers Ray
Strange. Did you try to delete your userdir (mostly in %USER_HOME%\.netbeans)? Or I've seen something similar with cyclic inheritance like: public class A extends A {
It's known problem. Thanks for your report anyway. Try deleting %userdir%/var/cache, it should do. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 72987 ***
