Bug 93324 [nls tooling] Find strings to externalize tries to open a dialog from the modal context thread
Reported: 2005-04-29 17:09:14 | Status: resolved fixed

While trying to sort out problems with badly encoded files I ran find strings to externalize on a package. Doing so resulted in the following exception: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.run(ModalContext.java:327) at
