Description Matthias Sohn CLA 2010-05-26 19:56:04 EDT 
I see this NPE quite frequently, not sure when this is hit

I am using EGit 0.8.0.201005261531 on Helios RC1

Ok, I think I understand the problem more or less. However, I have to wait for

http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,778

before I can continue.

Instead of using job listener, the RepositoriesView.showResource() method now simply uses join() when a refresh job is running, so the problem should not occur anymore.
