The problem described in the following has been observed on the UML2 model file creation wizard but could potentially happen in any model file creation wizard generated by EMF. It therefore should be fixed in the Editor.javajet template and UML2 model file creation wizard rather than only in the latter. The NPE is encountered when UMLModelWizard fails to retrieve a default editor for *.uml file extension. This has happend because I had UML2 and EMF Compare installed. EMF Compare contributes a locked content type association for *.uml files. As a result, the content type of *.uml files is org.eclipse.emf.compare.ui.contenttype.ModelContentType and the editor registry is unable to spot a default editor for that content type (see org.eclipse.ui.internal.registry.EditorRegistry#getDefaultEditor(String) for details). java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.uml2.uml.editor.presentation.UMLModelWizard.performFinish(UMLModelWizard.java:326) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.finishPressed(WizardDialog.java:752) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed(WizardDialog.java:373) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$2.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:624) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:228) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1003) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3880) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3473) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:825) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:801) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.WizardHandler$New.executeHandler(WizardHandler.java:253) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.WizardHandler.execute(WizardHandler.java:273) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerProxy.execute(HandlerProxy.java:294) at org.eclipse.core.commands.Command.executeWithChecks(Command.java:476) at org.eclipse.core.commands.ParameterizedCommand.executeWithChecks(ParameterizedCommand.java:508) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerService.executeCommand(HandlerService.java:169) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.SlaveHandlerService.executeCommand(SlaveHandlerService.java:241) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.actions.CommandAction.runWithEvent(CommandAction.java:157) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(ActionContributionItem.java:584) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$2(ActionContributionItem.java:501) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$5.handleEvent(ActionContributionItem.java:411) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1003) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3880) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3473) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2405) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2369) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2221) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$5.run(Workbench.java:500) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:493) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:113) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:194) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:368) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:559) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:514) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1311) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1287)
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 277623 ***
This should not actually be considered a duplicate of bug 277623. Rather, the generic template should be changed in EMF and the code for UML2 should be regenerated.
After some more investigation, it seems that this problem no longer exists (at least, as of Helios M6). I'm going to resolve the issue unless/until someone can provide a use case that demonstrates the problem in a more recent build.
