jdk1.2.2-L,green thread, nojit linuxRedHat6.1 2.2.12-20smp This bug report is for bouth components which is possible chose above. But only one can be selected. 1) java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.swing.text.ComponentView.setComponentParent I was attept to use online help on object class. I wasn't sure about the icon what it means. (It had normal icon as it's usual with class object. After changing the autocomments in it, the icon turned in another one, but with the red square in it.) So, I pressed F1 (probably more then once) and a lot of Exceptions apeared in the info window(s). Look at the attachment. 2) Another problem is that this icon miss in the online documentation. There is the only one without red square in it. So I don't know still what does it mean.... That the second bug.
Created attachment 4 [details] It's forte log which contains exceptions related to this bug with UserGuide
For #1: Looks to me like a Java platform bug, aggravated by something in JavaHelp but still a core Java bug. Should probably be reported as such. #2: There should be a description of the red X over source files (misparse) included in the general list of object types. Patrick says it is there already.
Setting to "won't fix" for #1; esp. using 1.2.2, your results may vary. Hopefully 1.3 is better. For #2, I think this is in UG, there has been no reply -> I assume it is there. In the future please file separate bugs for separate items; this one would be "invalid".
Verified as wontfix OK, it's too old and the problem with new builds dismised
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
