I started IJ 5.3.1 via webstart from CHEMAXON and have latest JAVA patch, under WINXP and got this when I tried to open a project (all the time)



java.lang.NullPointerException
    at java.util.Arrays$ArrayList.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.util.Arrays.asList(Unknown Source)
    at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2.isFileSystemRoot(Unknown Source)
    at sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder.isFileSystemRoot(Unknown Source)
    at javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.isFileSystemRoot(Unknown Source)
    at javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.getShellFolder(Unknown Source)

    at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicDirectoryModel$LoadFilesThread.run0(Unknown Source)
[catch] at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicDirectoryModel$LoadFilesThread.run(Unknown Source)

It basically tried to hang around Z: (my latest drive letter). It happens everytime I choose to open a project

Hi,

there is a JVM regression since 1.6 u19 which has not yet been fixed.

There are two options you can use as a workaround:

Downgrade you JDK to 1.6 update 18 (recommended). You can also set up netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk" in instantjchem.conf if you have multiple JDKs installed. That would force instantjchem to use the one specified.

Add nb.FileChooser.useShellFolder=false to your instantjchem.conf. It's located in C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXXXXX\.instantjchem\ws_www.chemaxon.com_stable\etc

Relevant JDK bug is http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6940843 (not yet published).

Hi,

thank you. Do you think its because Gosling left Oracle?

I remember that somebody was happy and thought now Oracle will pump billions into JAVA.

Cheers

No, that's pushing it too far! This is just a standard bug in Java.

Final conclusions on the Sun/Oracle deal are still somewhere in the future, but the general feeling is that Java's future is very secure under Oracle. The Gosling incident is certainly one of the negative aspcts, but so far there are thanklfully very few.
