Description CJW CLA 2011-08-09 18:22:06 EDT 
Build Identifier: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (as a VM guest within Oracle VirtualBox 4.08)



Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Rpmlint project builder' on project 'LED_Client'.
java.lang.NullPointerException


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right Click on the name of my C++ source file (LED_Client.hpp).
2. Select "Build Project"
3. Eclipse compiles the file, then a little error message dialog box appears stating in the Title Bar: "Problem Occurred"
in the next section of the dialog box it states: 'Build Project' has encoutered a problem. Errors occurred during the build.
in the white "text area" of the error dialog box it states: "Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Rpmlint project builder' on project 'LED_Client'.
java.lang.NullPointerException"

The error dialog box appears every time. Eclipse didn't seem to "notice" when I changed the value of a "#define" manifest constant name either. It kept referring to the "PREVIOUS" name of the constant even after I changed it to a SHORTER name (one that was only 31 chars long which C++ allows as being significant for identifiers).

Also, I created the LED_Client.hpp header file from scratch and it's in its own project called "LED_Client" with only one other file in it (the LED_Client.cpp implementation file).

Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

It is really weird that you get this error on Ubuntu machine. I assume you don't have rpm and friends installed at all, right?
If this is the case you would better uninstall Specfile editor as it is useful only if you do RPM packaging.

As there was no response from the submitter for more than two weeks I'm closing this one as it looks really suspicious and no communication happened. Please reopen if you're willing to help track this issue and I'm wrong.
