Bug 320851 NPE in WorkbenchSourceProvider
Reported: 2010-07-25 12:36:06 | Status: resolved fixed

I managed to get this by setting a break point very early in start up (in my case the constructor of the ModelEditor which is restored in my workbench) !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.ui.internal.services.WorkbenchSourceProvider$6.handleEvent(WorkbenchSourceProvider.java:684) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.filterEvent(Display.java:1031) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Display.java:3775) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1367) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1390) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1371) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell.windowDidBecomeKey(Shell.java:1892) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.windowProc(Display.java:5024) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.cocoa.OS.objc_msgSendSuper(Native Method) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.applicationSendEvent(Display.java:4582) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.applicationProc(Display.java:4659) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.cocoa.OS.objc_msgSend(Native Method) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.cocoa.NSApplication.sendEvent(NSApplication.java:115) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3274) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2421) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$3(Workbench.java:2329) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$3.run(Workbench.java:539) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:525) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:115) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:369) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:619) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:574) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1407) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1383)
