The reason for the NPE is two-fold:


You removed the default entry "xml" from the text field "List of Config file extensions" and leaving this (required) field empty.
I forgot a null check in the validatePage() method (http://springide.org/project/browser/trunk/org.springframework.ide.eclipse.beans.ui/src/org/springframework/ide/eclipse/beans/ui/wizards/NewSpringProjectCreationPage.java#L108).


So I opened a ticket (http://springide.org/project/ticket/338) for the bug described in 2) and will fix it. This in turn will keep you from 1) ;)


Regarding your poll for proper documentation:

The NewProject wizard is documented here (http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideGuide#CreateNewSpringProject). One can argue that's not fool-proof enough, but hey, this is just a wiki. If you find something missing or wrong then jump in and edit the corresponding wiki page.

PS For obvious bugs like this one please create a bug report here (http://springide.org/project/newticket).
