Build Identifier: M20100909-0800

When I click on "Run Configuration..." I get the following:

Undefined context while filtering dialog/window contexts:

Apart from standard SDK, have you installed any other plugins?

Comment 2 Guy Korland

Subclipse, GWT,

I also see the following in the error log:

I suspect GWT plugin. Can you try Eclipse without it and let us know whether its reproducible?

Comment 5 Guy Korland

2011-02-04 02:16:23 EST

It happens also without GWT

Comment 6 Prakash Rangaraj

2011-02-04 02:17:19 EST

Assigning to Debug for investigation.

(In reply to comment #3)
> I also see the following in the error log:

Please attach the error log, preferable when the one that includes the first Undefined Context warning.

Did you install the software (GWT, etc) and then hit "Apply Now"?

But you mentioned you installed without GWT and had the same problem, and it's not the kind of thing that should survive restarts.  Your install without GWT, is it an OS package (like on linux) or did you unzip/untar something from download.eclipse.org?

In this case "org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolsSet" is a context defined for an actionSet, and its parent context is "org.eclipse.ui.contexts.actionSet"

Please provide full log and reopen.

One oddity here is that the given trace in comment #3 points to line (1518) in LaunchConfigurationsDialog, which doesn't exist.
