Description Elias Volanakis CLA 2008-06-18 16:11:43 EDT 
To reproduce:

1. Create a new plugin project using one of the three RAP templates.
2. Run the application.
3. The following error message appears in the log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.rap.ui 2 2 2008-06-18 13:06:39.754
!MESSAGE Invalid value for org.eclipse.rap.ui/initialFastViewBarLocation preference.  Value "" should be one of "left", "bottom", or "right".

Additionally, the first time the Mail template is started an error message similar to this one appears in the log: "Could not restore theme"

Most people already know this, but I just thought that I would post it here for someone who might want to get rid of the error for their application.

Just add this line to preWindowOpen() in your implementation/subclass of WorkbenchWindowAdvisor:
@Override
public void preWindowOpen()
{
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.INITIAL_FAST_VIEW_BAR_LOCATION, IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.LEFT);
}

For what it's worth: it really seems to be caused by 259061.

I've stepped through the code (1.2 M4) and a valid value is put into the prefs, however when retrieving the value it's "".

This was solved with resolving bug #259061
