I have a project in the IDE. When I do the above, I get a NullPointerException and the attached Stack trace. Similarly, if I try to do a "Tools->Show Javadoc", I get a dialog box "Exception during initialization of HTML browser module" followed with another dialog giving me a similar stack trace as the one attached. I admit to not having read anything about how javadocs are to be generated and some of my source files have only minimal javadoc comments (some of them none), but I shouldn't see a NullPointerException. I'm running the developer build 116, but I think the same happened in the previous build I was running - 113.
