Hi NetBeans team: I get a problem when I try to launch the NetBeans IDE; the loader seems to be launched but around the 85% appears a message in window telling me basically that some problem was happened and that I need to report that issue at here. I get this message from a few days ago; I observed it happens since I performed the installation of JEdit in my machine and I treated to launch the NetBeans IDE while it was running. Other is the IDE apparently launch but doesn't show me the interface; so when I see the current processes in my machine I can see the java.exe process and the netbeans.exe process with a frame in some side above my desk, but nothing appears inside it. At next I attach the message Java shows me: /**************************************************************** java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.GroupParser$PropertyHandler.startElement (GroupParser.java:502) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement (AbstractSAXParser.java:533) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.dtd.XMLDTDValidator.startElement (XMLDTDValidator.java:798) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStar tElement(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:878) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$ContentDispatche r.scanRootElementHook(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:1157) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$Fragment ContentDispatcher.dispatch(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:1794) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocu ment(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:368) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse (XML11Configuration.java:834) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse (XML11Configuration.java:764) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse (XMLParser.java:148) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse (AbstractSAXParser.java:1242) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.GroupParser$PropertyHandler.readData (GroupParser.java:473) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.GroupParser.readProperties (GroupParser.java:97) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.GroupParser.load (GroupParser.java:77) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.WindowManagerParser.readGroups (WindowManagerParser.java:531) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.WindowManagerParser.load (WindowManagerParser.java:88) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.PersistenceManager.loadWindowSystem (PersistenceManager.java:1015) at org.netbeans.core.windows.PersistenceHandler.load (PersistenceHandler.java:83) at org.netbeans.core.windows.WindowSystemImpl.load (WindowSystemImpl.java:45) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.NonGui$3.run(NonGui.java:224) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:209) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:461) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy (EventDispatchThread.java:242) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy (EventDispatchThread.java:163) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents (EventDispatchThread.java:157) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents (EventDispatchThread.java:149) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:110) /************************************************************************** Hope this may be useful for your team.

I don't have enough information to fix the bug - please provide reproductible set of steps (starting NetBeans with clean new userdir) which lead to the described error. I couldn't reproduce the bug and do anything with it. Code in WindowSystemImpl and PersistenceManager was updated to be robust, so that similar errors will mean just that one of the windows is not restored on startup and must be opened manually, no other defects hopefully. Please reopen with reproductible scenario, thanks.
