Description Petr Jiricka 2004-03-31 15:22:33 UTC 
1. Create a new J2SE project, do not ask the
wizard to create a main class
2. Run this project
3. The following error will be printed in the
output window:

C:\...\Pr1\build.xml:25: Following error occured
while executing this line
C:\...\Pr1\nbproject\build-impl.xml:82: Classname
must not be null.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)

This message is hard to parse. There should be a
better message that will alert the user about
missing main class.
