Bug 27271 [Linked Resources] NPE creating variable linked folder
Reported: 2002-11-27 16:08:20 | Status: resolved fixed

Build I20021127 1) Create a path variable FOO that maps to "c:\temp" 2) Go into the new folder wizard, page two 3) Click the variables button 4) Select FOO from the list, hit OK. An info box pops up saying "Path variable value cannot be relative". This is wrong, because it is NOT relative. Then an NPE occurs. Stack trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java) at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java) at java.lang.NullPointerException.<init>(NullPointerException.java:63) at org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.WizardNewLinkPage.handleVariablesButtonPressed(WizardNewLinkPage.java:218) at org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.WizardNewLinkPage.access$7(WizardNewLinkPage.java:211) at org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.WizardNewLinkPage$4.widgetSelected(WizardNewLinkPage.java:148)
