Same issue again. We already had this several times. I believe that you used an old user directory which was created by an earlier NetBeans build, right? When you start with a fresh user directory, this exception should go away. Could you please verify this? We really need to handle this more gracefully on our side, as many users come across this. Stepan, could you please look at this issue? Thanks.
Ok, I moved away my .netbeans directory and could start up. So I guess the problem is not a problem by itself but a doc issue telling the user that if a NPE rises, he/she must delete his/her home directory :) If that is handled gracefully I'm satisfied. Shall I change the status to fixed? I my opinion it is not.
Agree this is not fixed, but it's a duplicate of issue 40659. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 40659 ***
