Description dstampf 2003-09-22 00:30:09 UTC 
This is a new installation of netbeans on windows
XP from the zip file. I create a new project.
Mount an empty directory. Create a new html file.
Don't add anything to it. Click on the green
arrow. It prompts me to create a web module. I
accept. Then a dialog box appears with an error
message:

Annotation: Exception occurred in Request Processor
java.lang.NullPointerException

I believe this worked in the past, but last night
it started failing. I deleted the previous
installation of netbeans and the .netbeans
directory. Then I downloaded a fresh copy,
re-installed and re-ran with the same error.

I also have jwsdp installed, but their version of
tomcat is not running.

Thanks

Dave

I guess this one is fixed in trunk (comes from Tomcat plugin).
Comment 2 Milan Kuchtiak 2004-02-06 13:29:49 UTC 
The issue is not relevant any more for 3.6.
Tomcat4 was replaced by Tomcat5 plugin.
