I cannot create a new class in Eclipse. Right-click on a package and select New -> Class. Enter the name and click the "Finish" button and nothing happens. The button is not grayed out. This happened in the Juno version and still happens when I upgraded to Luna. The stack trace from the .metadata/.log file is below. !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2015-12-23 11:38:39.368 !MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaPlugin.getTemplateContextRegistry(JavaPlugin.java:827) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaPlugin.getTemplateStore(JavaPlugin.java:872) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.NewElementWizard.warnAboutTypeCommentDeprecation(NewElementWizard.java:147) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.NewClassCreationWizard.performFinish(NewClassCreationWizard.java:79) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.finishPressed(WizardDialog.java:853) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed(WizardDialog.java:438) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$2.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:619) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:248) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Display.java:4353) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1061) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4172) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3761) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:832) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:808) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.actions.NewWizardShortcutAction.run(NewWizardShortcutAction.java:136) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:519) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(ActionContributionItem.java:595) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$2(ActionContributionItem.java:511) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$5.handleEvent(ActionContributionItem.java:420) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Display.java:4353) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1061) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4172) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3761) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine$9.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:1151) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:1032) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.E4Workbench.createAndRunUI(E4Workbench.java:148) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$5.run(Workbench.java:636) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:579) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:150) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:135) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:134) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:104) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:380) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:235) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:648) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:603) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1465) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1438)
