Description jlaskowski 2005-09-23 09:40:20 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200509221800 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_05 ]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a J2EE server to Servers in the Runtime tab.
2. Create a web or enterprise project and link it to that server (in my case it was JBoss).
3. Close NetBeans and remove the NETBEANS_HOME directory (~/.netbeans or %USERPROFILE%/.netbeans). It's always adviced when a new version is installed to not introduce bugs because of the previous version configurations.
4. Start up NetBeans
5. Open the project

You'll get java.lang.NullPointerException in a popup window and the project will be marked as misconfigured (i.e. resolve reference problems and resolve missing server problem menus show up).

See the attachement for the stack trace.

Comment 2 jlaskowski 2005-09-23 09:43:46 UTC 
The serverplugins is not available in the handy yet incomplete NetCAT form.

-> jboss4
Comment 4 Pavel Buzek 2005-11-10 02:56:53 UTC 
There are 2 exceptions. The NPE in JBDeploymentFactory at line 103 has been
fixed (added ==null). The CNFE at line 75 (this was v1.5, now line 85) should be
just swallowed and not reported, certainly not using notify (maybe log?).
Throwing DeploymentManagerCreationException from getDM() should be handled
correctly by j2eeserver.
Comment 5 Libor Kotouc 2005-11-21 15:04:47 UTC 
NPE was fixed in JBDeploymentFactory 1.6 (issue 65943) and CNFE was fixed in 1.9

Checking in JBDeploymentFactory.java;
/cvs/serverplugins/jboss4/src/org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/jboss4/JBDeploymentFactory.java,v
