Description Andreas Dolk CLA 2009-02-12 09:41:09 EST 
Build ID: I20090202-1535

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Execute New->Class in any package
2. Enter some class name
3. Click OK 
   -> Wizard won't close / class is not created
   -> Error log reports NPE


More information:
Never seen that before.. Restarted the workbench but behaviour is stable. Creating an Interface results in the the same problems.

Here's the error log:

Comment 1 Andreas Dolk CLA 2009-02-12 10:14:46 EST 
Guys - this is not caused by eclipse itself. I had the actual phpEclipse plugin added to eclipse. Removing the plugin removed the problem.

Another sideeffect: Opening Preferences->Java->Editor->Templates raised a similiar NPE at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaPlugin.getTemplateContextRegistry(JavaPlugin.java:796)
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2009-02-12 10:43:45 EST 
Hi, could you attach the plug-in here?

Comment 3 Andreas Dolk CLA 2009-02-12 14:18:04 EST 
That's the one:

PHPEclipse-1.2.1

Here's the download (it's 14.5M, so I just provide the URL)

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57621&package_id=283881&release_id=633074

Yes, I know, it's designed for Eclipse 3.3 ;) But it seems to work with 3.5 (unless you don't want to use the same Eclipse for Java editing...)
Comment 4 Andreas Dolk CLA 2009-02-12 14:23:36 EST 
Ahh, looking at bug 244770 shows, that this is a long known problem with PHPEclipse. Sorry for the duplicate, just wonder why my search in bugzilla with some keywords from the exception trace didn't give a result...

Default search only looks in open bugs.
