Comment 1 Beth Tibbitts CLA 2010-09-07 14:06:36 EDT 
Here is what I installed:
started with eclipse-cpp as noted aboe
from ptp-master I installed PTP end-user runtime, RDT, and UPC feature only
Comment 2 Greg Watson CLA 2010-09-07 14:24:40 EDT 
Are you using remote tools?

Did you install the Remote Tools Adapter?

Did you install the RDT Remote Tools Support?

You need to know what you're doing if you're going to pick and choose from an archive site.
Comment 3 Beth Tibbitts CLA 2010-09-07 14:37:01 EDT 
Yes I'm using Remote Tools
I installed the PTP End-user Runtime - that includes all I should need, right?

The PTP End-user runtime from the archive site is ... different from the PTP End-user runtime from the Helios update site? I'm confused.




On the previous try, For remote location i entered a directory that didn't
exist, assuming it would create it.
If I enter a directory that I created beforehand, the "Configure Services"
wizard page is not blank.
But I still get the NullPointerException.
This try was with the 201009022249 build.
Comment 4 Greg Watson CLA 2010-09-07 14:52:31 EDT 
No, the RDT Remote Tools Support is not part of the End User Runtime. Please list all the ptp features you have installed.
Comment 5 Greg Watson CLA 2010-09-07 14:57:05 EDT 
Also, from the NPE, I'd say you're using an old workspace that was created with a different set of PTP plugins installed. In order to test effectively you need to start with a clean workspace.
Comment 6 Greg Watson CLA 2010-09-16 09:29:56 EDT 
Is this still a problem? Please close if not.
Comment 7 Beth Tibbitts CLA 2010-09-16 10:30:55 EDT 
No longer a problem
