Newbie question

[Gunnar Stahl]

Hello!
Today I've downloaded and installed the kaffe 1.0b4 on my machine.
During installation I've run the "make check" tests and thist told me
that everything is ok.

Then I tried to run the IDE I`m working with for a year now (netbeans
developer 2.1.1, completely written in java using jdk1.1 and jfc1.1).
When I start it after a few seconds I get the error
"java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError [exception was
java.lang.NullPointerException]".

The System I am working on is an AMD K6/II 350, 128 MB Ram, running SuSE
Linux 6.1 (kernel 2.2.5).
The IDE is Netbeans Developer 2.1.1 (www.netbeans.com). 

Does anybody can help me to fix this?

regards

Gunnar
