reassigning to mslama who's taking care of nimbus l&f issues now, thanks
This seems to be fixed. No NPE during IDE start anymore. I used JDK 6u10 build 11 with latest nimbus.jar. This should be integrated into build 13.
I am still getting the NPE. Installed JDk 6 Up 10 and Netbeans 6.1 afresh and still facing the NPE. and the stack trace is same as. Also I could not see label texts in tree and table renderers. java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.swing.JSplitPane.setUIProperty(JSplitPane.java:1057) at javax.swing.LookAndFeel.installProperty(LookAndFeel.java:262) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicSplitPaneUI.installDefaults(BasicSplitPaneUI.java:333) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropUtils$CleanSplitPaneUI.installDefaults(PropUtils.java:1685) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicSplitPaneUI.installUI(BasicSplitPaneUI.java:301) at javax.swing.JComponent.setUI(JComponent.java:673) at javax.swing.JSplitPane.setUI(JSplitPane.java:355) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PSheet.createSplitPane(PSheet.java:679) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PSheet.addImpl(PSheet.java:528) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PSheet.setState(PSheet.java:379) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropertySheet.setDescriptionAreaVisible(PropertySheet.java:367) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropertySheet.setDescriptionVisible(PropertySheet.java:374) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropertySheet.init(PropertySheet.java:317) at org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropertySheet.(PropertySheet.java:227) at org.netbeans.core.NbSheet.(NbSheet.java:96) at org.netbeans.core.NbSheet.getDefault(NbSheet.java:168) at org.netbeans.core.NbSheet$Replacer.readResolve(NbSheet.java:412) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:0) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.invokeReadResolve(ObjectStreamClass.java:1061) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readOrdinaryObject(ObjectInputStream.java:1762) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1329) at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:351) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.XMLSettingsSupport$SettingsRecognizer.readSerial(XMLSettingsSupport.java:520) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.XMLSettingsSupport$SettingsRecognizer.instanceCreate(XMLSettingsSupport.java:552) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.SerialDataConvertor$SettingsInstance.instanceCreate(SerialDataConvertor.java:393) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.PersistenceManager.getTopComponentPersistentForID(PersistenceManager.java:475) at org.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.PersistenceManager.getTopComponentForID(PersistenceManager.java:580) at org.netbeans.core.windows.PersistenceHandler.getTopComponentForID(PersistenceHandler.java:405) at org.netbeans.core.windows.PersistenceHandler.load(PersistenceHandler.java:130) at org.netbeans.core.windows.WindowSystemImpl.load(WindowSystemImpl.java:47) at org.netbeans.core.NonGui$3.run(NonGui.java:183) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:209) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:597) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:273) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:183) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:173) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:168) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:160) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121)
