Description zian 2007-05-20 00:16:35 UTC 
I already had NetBeans 5.5 installed on my computer.
Then, I downloaded NetBeans 6.0 Preview 1 (M9) and installed it.

Whenever I run NetBeans 6, I recieve a recurring NullPointerException that 
prevents NetBeans from getting past the splash screen.

After updating the UML module in NetBeans 5.5, I ws able to start NetBeans 
with no difficulties.
Comment 3 Viktor Lapitski 2007-11-02 00:09:00 UTC 
please make sure that "userdir" used for 6.0 isn't the same one 
that was used for 5.5 and if teh problem persists please provide 
detailed steps and also, if possible, the UML project(s)
 the IDE wasn't able to open

Also please give a try to latest 6.0 - it is far more improved 
in quality vs. M9.

I doubt they were the same userdirs because I left the installer settings at their defaults.

I've since resolved the issue by updating my components, which I mentioned in an earrlier comment.

I already gave the steps to reproduce it. I'm not sure what else you want to know. They are:
1. Install NetBeans 5.5
2. Install NetBeans 6
3. Run NetBeans 6

This is probably fixed by now because I have both versions of NetBeans (5.5 and a recent nightly build) working 
perfectly fine.
Comment 5 Viktor Lapitski 2007-11-02 00:25:03 UTC 
thank for the prompt response. The questions were because i also 
have 5.5 and 6.0 together and haven't seen the problem as well.
