[Torsten Juergeleit]

The reason for the NPE is two-fold:

1. You removed the default entry "xml" from the text field "List of Config file extensions" and leaving this (required) field empty.
2. I forgot a null check in the validatePage() method.

So I opened a ticket 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. 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.
