### Apache NetBeans version Apache NetBeans latest daily build ### What happened While opening a NetBeans project (netbeans/java/refactoring.java) netbeans shows an error in in the bottom status line. This happens only after a fresh netbeans installation is used on a first project scan.  The stacktrace shows ``` java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "javax.lang.model.element.Element.getKind()" because "e" is null at org.netbeans.modules.profiler.nbimpl.providers.JavaProfilerSourceImpl$10$1.visitMethod(JavaProfilerSourceImpl.java:639) at org.netbeans.modules.profiler.nbimpl.providers.JavaProfilerSourceImpl$10$1.visitMethod(JavaProfilerSourceImpl.java:635) at com.sun.tools.javac.tree.JCTree$JCMethodDecl.accept(JCTree.java:993) ``` The resolution in this case is simple, check the `Element e` for nulity before dereferencing. The relevant code is: ``` if (e.getKind() == ElementKind.METHOD) { ExecutableElement ee = (ExecutableElement)e; if (ee.getSimpleName().contentEquals("suite") && // NOI18N (ee.getReturnType().toString().equals(JUNIT_TEST) || ee.getReturnType().toString().equals(JUNIT_SUITE))) { rslt[0] |= true; } } ``` The solution is simple modify first line to ``` if (e !=null && e.getKind() == ElementKind.METHOD) { ``` which has no adverse effect on the logic. ### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component java/ netbeans/ Java Profiler profiler(NetBeans Bindings) ### How to reproduce run `ant tryme` on a freshly built netbeans and open a netbeans module for instance java/refactoring.java. If you ran tryme before, remove ~/.netbeans ### Did this work correctly in an earlier version? No / Don't know ### Operating System Ubunutu 24.04 ### JDK 17 ### Apache NetBeans packaging Own source build ### Anything else You may have to clean caches from an earlier run. ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
