I have the lastest updates for eclipse and ME. It appears the ANT Editor is not working now and throwing a null pointer exception.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.ant.internal.ui.editor.AntEditor.dispose(AntEditor.java:1151)
at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.createPartHelper(EditorReference.java:622)
at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.createPart(EditorReference.java:372)
at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPartReference.getPart(WorkbenchPartReference.java:566)

I started ME using the -clean command to ensure there is no caching issue with eclipse.

Suggestions?

Your installation looks good to me. Can you switch to a brand new workspace, create a new project and try working with the ANT Editor?

[Russ]

Okay……..I created a new workspace……. The Ant Editor is fine now. It looks like the workspace got corrupted from the last update from Eclipse plugins….. Grrrrrrrrr

Thanks for your help…..

[Russ]

What would be nice is a feature which checks the integrity of the workspace so one knows immediately about a corrupt workspace.

[Loyal Water]

I agree with you. This could be a very helpful feature. For the time being I’m glad the Ant Editor is working.
