Description Heiko Seeberger CLA 2008-06-19 06:45:16 EDT 
When I tried to integrate (the fantastic) Plug-in Spy into my own RCP application, I started with an empty one (Hello world) which of course has got no part. Pressing Alt+Shift+F1 resulted in nothing on the UI and a NPE logged:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2008-06-19 12:44:15.373
