Yes please. Compile error messages or runtime stacktraces would be
appreciated. See also the new "upstream" gcj/classpath runtime library
bug page: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/bugs.html
(Which really just has convenience links to the gcc bugzilla. Since last
week gcc, gcj, and classpath bugs are all maintained in the same bug
database which should make finding and filing bugs between different
components a lot easier.)

Could you post the stacktrace of this NPE?

Thanks,
