[CompStrm Wiki] Netbeans issues

[James S <jam...@gm...>]

Hi Bill,

I'm having probelms installing Netbeans 5.0 on my Mac. I'm running
10.4.5with the latest Java updates and the SDK.

I originally got Netbeans working, but it wouldn't see javadoc even when I
pointed to it and auto complete did not work. I downloaded the source on a
sugesstion and pointed to it as well. Since that time Netbeans will not
function. I get this error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I tried to search the issues database but had to register, and the
registration doesn't seem to be working as I have not received my
conformation email. Can you offer any help or steer me in the right
direction?

Thanks,

James
