I recently upgraded to Eclipse 3.7.1, JSDT 1.3.1.v201108102009, and Eclipse WDT 3.3.1.v201107072200. After the upgrade I've been getting "'Requesting JavaScript AST from selection' has encountered a problem" dialogs when editing JavaScript files. I am able to consistently reproduce a specific case where clicking on "return" in a function that returns a string literal will cause a NullPointerException. It seems to only happen the first time you click on "return" after opening the file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a JavaScript project, create a file named foo.js with the following contents: function foo() { return "bar"; } 2. Open up foo.js with the JavaScript editor. 3. Click on the keyword "return". Actual Result: A dialog appears with the title "Problem Occurred" is displayed that says: An internal error occurred during: "Requesting JavaScript AST from selection". java.lang.NullPointerException Expected Result: No error should occur.
