I seem to get a lot of these. See attached ide.log.
Created attachment 4777 [details] ide.log file showing exception.
Created attachment 4778 [details] NullPointerException
ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException caused by opening ANT documentation, searching for 'uptodate' and selecting second result. NullPointerException caused by opening ALL documentation and searching for 'explorer'.
I'm moving the issue to userguide module which seems to me more appropriate, because this bug is related to help documentation in general and not to Ant module only. However, I was not able to reproduce the problem and from exception I have not learned a lot, becuase they are all in JDK code. More information about whether the issue is always reproducible and whether it is also reproducible just after clean installation of NB with clean userdir would definitely help.
Longstanding hard-to-reproduce problem with the JDK. I'd be curious to know if this happens with JDK 1.4. Jesse, did you ever file a bug with the Swing team? *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 8370 ***

No, I did not file a Swing bug. Someone needs to set aside a day, install JDK 1.4 final, and play with it exhaustively trying to see if any Swing HTML exceptions can be found. I have not had the time. AFAIK 1.4 is much better than 1.3 here.
I installed the JDK 1.3.1_02 and Netbeans 3.3.1 clean on another machine and it doesn't happen. I can, however, reproduce the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and a NullPointerException consistently on the machine I normally work from. What can I do to get you guys more information on these exceptions?
