Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2011-05-06 15:02:47 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #344983 +++

Fix is available on bug 344983, but it caused an NPE and was deemed too risky for RC1 inclusion.


Build Identifier: I20110310-1119

When opened with unknown editor input the target definition editor will fail to open and display a NPE.
Currently IFileEditorInput and IURIEditorInput are supported.
e.g. Team history views will use other editor inputs. Probably sub types of IStorageEditorInput.
I'll attach two patch proposals.
The first very simple one will just prevent the NPE and inform the user.
The second patch proposal introduce support for any kind of IStorageEditorInput.
(incl. save behavior as described in IStorageEditorInput documentation)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a target file from EGit history view

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
