NullPointerException

["Tomas Fasth" <tomas@euronetics.se>]

Hi.
I just downloaded and installed jCVS 4.7.3.
While trying to communicate with the cvs server (performing a checkout) I
repeatedly get the following exception report as console output:

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.ice.cvsc.CVSClient.processCVSRequest(CVSClient.java:1240)
        at com.ice.cvsc.CVSProject.performCVSRequest(CVSProject.java:1183)

        at java.awt.Button.processActionEvent(Button.java:257)
        at java.awt.Button.processEvent(Button.java:230)
        at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code)
        at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Compiled Code)

Testing the connection gives similar results (with CVSCheckoutDialog
replaced with CVSTestConnectionDIalog).

What am I doing wrong?
Any hints on how to get past this obstacle?

Oh, almost forgot to mention. I have tried both jre-1.1.6 and jre-1.2b4.

Thanks,
Tomas
