Hi,

i tried to test the Compare API according to this guide "FAQ_How_do_I_create_a_compare_editor" in the eclipse wiki but it was unsuccessful. The CompareUIPlugin throws everytime a NullPointerException at 
new CompareConfiguration()
.

Hier the complete error stack:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
	at org.eclipse.compare.CompareEditorInput.<clinit>(CompareEditorInput.java:161)
	at MainClass.main(MainClass.java:10)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.compare.internal.CompareUIPlugin.getPluginId(CompareUIPlugin.java:309)
	at org.eclipse.compare.internal.ICompareUIConstants.<clinit>(ICompareUIConstants.java:15)
	... 2 more


I use Eclipse 3.5.1 and the Compare Plugin "org.eclipse.compare_3.5.0.I20090514-0808.jar".

Any idea why?

Thanks

It looks like you try to start your code as normal Java application
instead of using an 'Eclipse Application' launch configuration.

Hi Dani,

i integrated the code snippet in Eclipse RCP-based application and it has a debug and run "Eclipse Application" launch configuration. The problem occurs when i start the code with the eclipse configuration! So i dont think thats play a role.

The stack doesn't seem to indicate that you're running as an Eclipse
application. It seems to indicate you're running main directly. You'll
want to check into that more carefully.
