Build Identifier: 20110218-0911 See bug 254936. This issue is very similar, except the NPE now occurs due to "mgr.getControl2()" returning null (mgr was not null). java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.setPerspective(WorkbenchPage.java:3721) at org.eclipse.ui.handlers.ShowPerspectiveHandler.openPerspective(ShowPerspectiveHandler.java:146) ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See steps to reproduce in bug 254936, my setup is the same.
I found a workaround, but it is very kludgy. I assume that the reason I ran into this bug is because I am not using the menu bar, choosing instead something with a multi-level bar. Within my extension of WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.preWindowOpen(), I call configurer.setShowCoolBar(false); But this isn't good enough. At some point, a coolbar manager is created, and then this NPE comes up when it's asked about its control. So, within my override of createWindowContents(), I added one line: configurer.createCoolBarControl(shell); This doesn't make me comfortable, but seems to get through my issue. If configurer.setShowCoolBar(false) is set, shouldn't a coolbarManager not get created?
