Description Darin Wright CLA 2008-02-28 09:41:50 EST 
I selected a plug-in and pressed "debug". I got this error:

Comment 1 Jacek Pospychala CLA 2008-02-28 09:49:37 EST 
oh it must be caused by my patch to bug 220641.
Please revert patch attached there and reopen that bug, I'll come up with updated solution.
Comment 2 Darin Wright CLA 2008-02-28 11:08:03 EST 
This needs to be fixed for the next I-build (any committers out there?). It causes a problem with the first Eclipse App launch after each restart, and leaves a defunct empty launch in the debug view.
Comment 3 Brian Bauman CLA 2008-02-28 11:16:57 EST 
Give me a few minutes and I will revert the patch.
Comment 4 Brian Bauman CLA 2008-02-28 11:32:15 EST 
Should be reverted to the old way.  I reopened the original high contrast bug so we can provide an updated fix using that same bug #.

I can't believe something so simple caused such a big problem :)
