Upon closing a file/project I see a pop up wuth the message:

Disposing has encountered a problem. An internal error has occurred. java.lang.NullPointerException

My environment is:

  • Windows 7
  • Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
  • Version: Juno
  • Service Release 2
  • Build id: 20130225-0426

Is there any way to fix it?

IF it's caused by m2e, upgrade m2e 0.x to released 1.4. The problem will be fixed.

I think you may be deleted the files from workspace and try to close or open the file which was previously opened befor you delete that file in workspace

You can install another version, or you can re-install.
