Description Kevin Haaland

I've got to throw away (or delete my .metadata) my current workbench due to a reoccuring NullPointer exception
		Unhandled exception caught in event loop.
		Reason:
			java.lang.NullPointerException

	After you've put significant work into arranging your views I hate to see that go to waste.  Or rather, if I've installed
	at home and would like to propogate my views home is there a way?

There are no plans for the UI team to work on this defect report until higher 
priority items are addressed.

Perspectives layout are saved in the preference store. So to export your 
perspective go to the Preferences Dialog and click on Export.
