Hi Peter- > Full Name: peter griffith > Email Address: address@hidden > Organization: nasa > Package Version: 2.7u2 build date:2009-08-26 16:33 UTC > Operating System: Mac OS X > Hardware: Java: home: > /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home version: > 1.5.0_20 j3d:1.5.2 fcs (build4) > Description of problem: There was an error accessing the image. > java.lang.NullPointerException This is a versionitis problem. I created the bundle using the latest nightly build which includes a new set of background image layers. The 2.7u2 version that you are running doesn't include that layer. I'll look at creating a better error message.
