Description Anton Leherbauer

Eclipse 3.3M4 (I20061214-1445)
CDT 3.1.1

CDT uses the TemplatePreferencePage to view and edit code templates (it does not override #editTemplate).
Since Eclipse 3.3M4, trying to edit a template or create a new one fails with the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.templates.TemplatePreferencePage$EditTemplateDialog.createEditor(TemplatePreferencePage.java:439)
	at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.templates.TemplatePreferencePage$EditTemplateDialog.createDialogArea(TemplatePreferencePage.java:324)
	at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog.createContents(Dialog.java:780)
