NullPointerException related to AbstractInterpreterInstallType [message #663009]

I'm seeing the following exception show up in numerous places but I'm at a loss to determine how to resolve it.

I've implemented a basic editor and run capabilities, and am now trying to get a simple type navigator hooked up according to the wiki at ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/DLTK_IDE_Guide:Step_3._Towards_an_ID E). Can't get even the simple, hard-coded type hierarchy to display (my project seems to work ok, as does script selection for running). The following error shows up from time to time, although I think it's unrelated to the type hierarchy working.

(Running DLTK 2.0, comparing with the ruby implementation from the CVS 2.0 tag)

Hi Timothy,

@Override
protected ILookupRunnable createLookupRunnable(
IFileHandle installLocation,
List<LibraryLocation> locations,
EnvironmentVariable[] variables) {
return new ILookupRunnable() {
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
}
};
}
in your implementation of InterpreterInstallType if your interpreter
doesn't have a concept of system external libraries.

It will be improved in next version.

Regards,
Alex

I worked around the issue by overriding AbstractInterpreterInstallType.getDefaultLibraryLocations so that it returns an empty list.

I'm not certain if I'm going to need to use any "external library" functionality, that depends on whether the language has something that's almost, but not entirely, unlike external libraries.
