Get NullPointer by starting application

[Denis]

Hi,
we are using Eclipse oXygen Author 17.1.

By starting the the application we get the following Nullpointer:

Code: Select all

0 WARN [ main ] com.oxygenxml.editor.EditorPlugin - java.lang.NullPointerException

java.lang.NullPointerException

	at com.oxygenxml.editor.EditorPlugin.getEclipseVersion(Unknown Source)

We starting oxygen in our eclipse application, which runs in version 3.6. Could this be the reason for the nullpointer?

Hi,

What distribution of Eclipse are you using Help > About Eclipse?
That NPE may appear if you have a custom Eclipse build that doesn't include the 'org.eclipse.platform' package.

Hi,
I have found that the org.eclipse.platform package has to be in feature folder. After this is done the exception will not be thrown anymore.

Best regards,
Denis
