This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Clicking on some javac, delete and other task nodes pops up an exception window. It happens on our (netbeans) build.xml files. If the underlying XML file is wrong it should be reported more gracefully or an attempt to fix the problem should take place.

Presumably using the correct Ant version would prevent this from happening, but the bug (robustness) remains anyway.
It is not sensitive to Ant version, it seems; I get this even using the correct Ant version and a valid buildfile (makefile/build.xml, clean target, first delete task).
Fixed, crudely--commented out affected code.
Verified in build 20010622
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
