This occurs when trying to "run" and html or jsp or servlet. All three are trivial "hello world" examples. The dialog report is: A java.lang.IllegalStateException exception has occurred. Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/issues.html, including a copy of your messages.log file as an attachment. The messages.log file is located in your /home/drs/.netbeans/4.0beta2/var/log folder.
Please ignore - a better report is in 52290. Sorry - newbe error.
