Bug 66593 NPE in JavaDocCompletionProcessor
Reported: 2004-06-10 17:02:22 | Status: verified fixed

I am trying to extend the JavaEditor, so I wrote a simple editor that extends CompilationUnitEditor (I wish I could subclass a class that doesn't belong in the internal package, but I don't see any other way). I declare my editor in the plugin.xml, attach it to a particular file extension but when I try to trigger JavaDocCompletion, I get the NPE below which I tracked back to JavaDocCompletionProcessor: public ICompletionProposal[] computeCompletionProposals(ITextViewer viewer, int documentOffset) { ICompilationUnit cu= JavaUI.getWorkingCopyManager().getWorkingCopy(fEditor.getEditorInput()); cu is null at this point. fEditor.getEditorInput() returns non null and my editor is simply extending CompilationUnitEditor, without overriding anything: public class MyEditor extends CompilationUnitEditor { } !SESSION Jun 10, 2004 13:46:34.87 ---------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.version=1.5.0-beta2 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
