I believe that manual changes that I made to a project /WEB-INF/web.xml made 
that file invalid; 
subsequently, everytime I tried to open the NetBeans IDE containing that 
project 
I was getting null pointer error messages 
it was not clear that a project web.xml was the cause of the error, 
although it did seem that the IDE workspace had somehow become corrupted
