Confirmed with daily dev NB 6.0 build 200609041800. Dispatching to welcome module. Steps to reproduce: 1.Start IDE with fresh user dir. 2.Exit IDE. 3.Start IDE. 4.Disable welcome module in Module Manager -> Help 5.Exit IDE. 6.Start IDE -> Exception. Different from exception given by Tim. This time it fails when initializing lookup during startup. It is important to follow given steps. There is no problem when you disable welcome module during first IDE session. It seems there is problem with cache. Jarda is it possible to clean cache when module is disabled or handle this by some other way?
Created attachment 33609 [details] IDE log with exception
i fixed the welcome screen not to use SystemOption any more. but there clearly is an issue in the module system - reassigning to openide for evaluation
No one knows how to reproduce Tim's exception. In fact it is from javac-generated code, not NB source code: the inner class' outer class field is null?! Marek's exception is to be expected if the .settings file fails to declare which <module> it is from. Primary problem fixed -> P4 for possible investigation or closing.
Reassigning to new module owner jskrivanek.
Without requested information for long time - INVALID. We can't do anything in this case, so please reporter add requested information and reopen issue. Thanks in advance.
