Description

Download src.zip, specified with Tools>NetBeansPlatforms>sources for Platforms>developmentIDE. Couldn't get it to work, so extracted source, pointed to that, still didn't work.

1. Steps:
   In a "Installer extends ModuleInstall" (empty, just created with new) "with the cursor over ModuleInstall, do Navigate>GotoType
2. dialog comes up with ModuleInstall, ModuleInstaller, ModuleInstallerSupport.
3. Select either ModuleInstaller or ModuleInstallerSupport and get the following exception
   Note that ModuleInstall also used to fail (don't know about the exception) but I think I manually navigated to the file or something and now it works to bring up the source file.
4. get exception
   Note: sometimes you get source file not found error

Exception attached.

I have saved the messages.log. let me know if you want it. The dialog only asked for the exception.
