Using the latest open and closed source, I find that if I try to delete a file (in the Explorer, choose Delete from the pop up menu for an object), an exception is thrown. The file is deleted, but this causes problems in my module since I am deleting more than one file and since the exception is thrown, only the first file is deleted. Heres the stack trace I get when I delete a java file: java.lang.NullPointerException: null Annotation: Exception occurred in Request Processor org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Holder(task org.netbeans.core.ModuleActions$1@176572 [-4175, 1]) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.createHolder(RequestProcessor.java:275) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor.post(RequestProcessor.java:99) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor.post(RequestProcessor.java:72) at org.netbeans.core.ModuleActions.invokeAction(ModuleActions.java:65) at org.openide.awt.Actions$ButtonBridge.actionPerformed(Actions.java:298) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:1450) at javax.swing.AbstractButton$ForwardActionEvents.actionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:1504) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(DefaultButtonModel.java:378) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(DefaultButtonModel.java:250) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.doClick(AbstractButton.java:279) [catch] at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicMenuItemUI$MouseInputHandler.mouseReleased(BasicMenuItemUI.java:886) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Component.java:3715) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Component.java:3544) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Container.java:1165) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:2593) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1214) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:2497) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Container.java:2452) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Container.java:2217) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Container.java:2126) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1201) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:912) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:2497) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:333) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEvent(EventDispatchThread.java:103) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:84) Thu Jan 18 09:53:47 PST 2001java.lang.NullPointerException: null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.openide.loaders.DataShadow.checkOriginal(DataShadow.java:300) at org.openide.loaders.DataShadow.refresh(DataShadow.java:489) at org.openide.loaders.DataShadow.checkValidity(DataShadow.java:152) at org.openide.loaders.ShadowChangeAdapter.checkDataShadows(ShadowChangeAdapter.java:50) at org.openide.loaders.ShadowChangeAdapter.operationDelete(ShadowChangeAdapter.java:100) at org.openide.loaders.DataLoaderPool.fireOperationEvent(DataLoaderPool.java:180) at org.openide.loaders.DataObject.fireOperationEvent(DataObject.java:670) at org.openide.loaders.DataObject.delete(DataObject.java:491) at org.openide.loaders.DataNode.destroy(DataNode.java:203) at org.openide.nodes.FilterNode.destroy(FilterNode.java:315) at org.openide.explorer.ExplorerActions$1.run(ExplorerActions.java:460) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction(FileSystem.java:371) at org.openide.explorer.ExplorerActions$DeleteActionPerformer.performAction(ExplorerActions.java:456) at org.openide.util.actions.CallbackSystemAction.performAction(CallbackSystemAction.java:78) at org.openide.util.actions.CallableSystemAction.actionPerformed(CallableSystemAction.java:66) at org.netbeans.core.ModuleActions$1.run(ModuleActions.java:67) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:124) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$ProcessorThread.run(RequestProcessor.java:562)
Looks like shadow's original field is null? (Shouldn't DataShadow protected constructor check for original==null and throw NullPointerException immediately to make it easier to diagnose the problem?) FWIW I do not get any exception thrown deleting an object in a current dev build. If you know what conditions are required to reproduce, please add them.
I cannot reproduce this bug, but I try to fix it somehow: 1) NullPointerException will be thrown immediately in constructor of DataShadow, if original DataObject is null. 2) checkOriginal(DataObject orig) method, if orig is null, will return null and then create broken link.
