Hi, Netbeans Experts,

I am using nb5, solaris 10 sparc, jdk 5.0.6/5.0.4.  I keep getting this
NPE shortly after opening a project.  This doesn't seem to happen with
nb4.1.  Unfortunately after I migrated my project to nb 5.0, I can no
longer go back to 4.1

One symptom is, it doesn't show any method name autocomplate for JDK
classes.  For instance, after I type

System.

I expect to see a popup window with entries like "out", but all I see is
"class"

After I type "this is a string", followed by a dot, I expect to see a list
of methods like "indexOf, trim...", but all I see are methods only from
java.lang.Object

I searched in netbeans.org website, and couldn't find anything similar.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The next thing I will try, is to reinstall nb.  But I'm not sure if this
will make any difference.  My log attached.
