Description Kent Sebastian CLA 2008-06-06 11:25:00 EDT 
Build ID: I20080523-0100

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Empty task list, restart eclipse
2. Receive a task via ecf.mylyn (xmpp)

Note: does not occur if the task was already imported (but failed), deleted, then imported again within the same eclipse instance

Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2008-06-06 12:44:08 EDT 
Please attach said NPE.
Comment 2 Remy Suen CLA 2008-06-06 16:14:46 EDT 
I suspect that this is because the menu hasn't been created yet, so we have no working shell. Thanks for the report, Kent.
Comment 3 Remy Suen CLA 2008-06-06 16:18:34 EDT 
Actually, or maybe not since you claim the task list is empty, I guess these are two separate bugs. Will investigate further later.
Comment 4 Remy Suen CLA 2008-06-06 16:24:23 EDT 
Nope, I was right, it all goes back to the null shell. NPE attached.

java.lang.NullPointerException
