Comment 3 rburkhead 2012-12-14 19:30:30 UTC

After encountering this NPE (see expection #639971), I was unable to continue with unit testing. Pressing <CTRL><F6> continued to throw the NPE. I decided to shut down and restart the IDE to clear the state. The IDE reported that "org.netbeans.samples.ClassA.java" needed to be saved by opening a save dialog. Not recognizing the file name, I assumed that the IDE was confused, and closed all open source files to ensure that all my work was saved. Attempted to close the IDE again, this time with no source files open, with the same result. See attached screen shot.
