When following the steps on the http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-paintapp.html tutorial with 5.5 and when trying to build the paint app I get C:\netbeans55\harness\common.xml:202: java.lang.NullPointerException
Probably this tutorial should be killed / rewritten, since the example is available as a sample from the New Project dialog.
Don't understand the problem at all -- I just ran the application from 5.5 Beta 2. Nothing wrong with it. CC-ing Tim B.
The issue is about the tutorial itself (http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-paintapp.html), not about the sample (New Project -> Samples .... -> Paint Application)...
So what's wrong with the tutorial?
Unclear what the problem with the tutorial is. User hasn't responded with details.
