[news.eclipse.newcomer] NullPointerException for the simplest possible a

[jankes <erfan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I've just started using Eclipse 3.2.1 and I've observed that every few 
launches of the simples possible applet (see the code below) I get the 
following error (it happens only when exitin applet viewer):

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException: 
component argument pData
at sun.awt.windows.Win32SurfaceData.initOps(Native Method)
at sun.awt.windows.Win32SurfaceData.<init>(Win32SurfaceData.java:448)

at 
sun.awt.windows.WComponentPeer.replaceSurfaceData(WComponentPeer.java:313)
at sun.awt.windows.WComponentPeer$2.run(WComponentPeer.java:353)

The applet code looks like this:

import javax.swing.JApplet;

public class dummy extends JApplet {

      /** Constructor */
      public dummy() throws HeadlessException {
        super();
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
      }

}


Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks
