modal error window

When attempting to reorganize a class via the Java Outline view, any attempts to move a constructor results in an unexpected exception (screenshot attached).
Comment 1 Daniel Brady CLA 2015-09-18 10:07:02 EDT
This error does not happen when attempting to reorganize methods or other class members, and happens regardless of the constructor's scope.

Could you please attach the error as a text file? We are missing the details of the exception ("Caused by:")

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.

This works for me on 2020-06 and with no further information regarding the exception, I am closing this as WORKSFORME.  If the problem persists, please provide the full trace-back.
