When I put
run.args.extra=-J-Dnetbeans.winsys.hideEmptyDocArea=true
in my project.properties I got a NullPointerException (NPE ) at startup. I though it was a bug and I reported it but then I realized that I got the NPE because I had removed/hidden also the editor.wsmode in my layer.xml

As soon as I removed those entries from the layer.xml hideEmptyDocAre worked perfectly.
