When I now start Netbeans 5.0 a null pointer exception is thrown.  I will
attempt to attach message.log to this issue as indicated.  I am a beginner with
NetBeans and Java and web development.
Perhaps, this null pointer problem happens following my attempts to rename my
project.  Previous to this renaming NetBeans appeared to work flawlessly.  I
could clean and build my application.  I could run my application successfully
using local Tomcat host.  I renamed project and classes and servlet using
NetBeans rename menus and refactoring of class names.  The renaming did not
complete successfully.  The app will build but will not run.  I do not yet know
why.  NetBeans will not start properly and will not auto load my project.  I can
open the project but NetBeans does not recognize it as a recent project.  There
may still be some old names floating around.
