This update fixes the NullPointerException when trying to Browse Subversion Repository or perform any other action which triggers the repository browsing.

The exception is written to the log and nothing happens when you try to work with Subversion from IntelliJ IDEA.

The problem appears only under JDK 1.6.0_12 and newer versions while IntelliJ IDEA 7.x was tested on older JDK 1.6 versions which are not affected.

To apply the update download svn4idea.jar file attached to this document and replace the old version in IDEA_HOME\plugins\svn4idea\lib directory while IntelliJ IDEA is not running.

Another possible workaround is to run IntelliJ IDEA under JDK 1.6.0_10.
