Bug 290360

Description Mauro Molinari 2009-09-24 03:20:06 EDT

Almost every other time, for some time on, I have being experiencing a NullPointerException while starting Eclipse.

I'm using Eclipse 3.5.0, Build id: I20090611-1540, 64-bit version under Windoes XP x64 Edition.

The error is always at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.buildpath.P2Utils.getBundlesFromFile(P2Utils.java:125), however stack traces can be a bit different. An example of a NPE stack trace follows.

Unfortunately, this problem is not always reproducible. To reproduce, I have just to start Eclipse. It seems to happen the first time I start it when I arrive at work in the morning.
