Description Markus Voelter CLA 2009-02-26 02:17:12 EST
If an extension file imports another one, or if a template imports and extension and there's something wrong with that extension, I always get the following message:

    Error Parsing Extensions: null

This error message does not tell me anything, and it is shown independent of what the actual problem is.

In the 5.x release, we need to make sure that we report error messages that actually specify what the problem is (e.g. "duplicate definition of extension X").

ExecutionContextImpl#internalAllExtensions() threw a RuntimeException when an extension file cannot be parsed. As a result when one extension file is broken, all extensions cannot be found. Processing must continue dispite of the broken extension file.

I think this annoying problem is now fixed. Also content assist is now working again :-)
