[solved] NullPointerException Platform.getOS( ) in Standalone App [message #805241]

Hello,

I try to integrate the ChartWizard in a standalone application. But it crashes with a NullPointerException during a DragEnter Event.
I think the Problem is in the validation of DataTextDropListener

if ( Platform.OS_WIN32.equals( Platform.getOS( ) ) )

How can I fix this or register the Platform Object? I'm using BIRT 3.7.

Thank you.

Edit:
I solved the Problem:
I run the application as a Java Application, this was the fault.

Now I run the Application as RCP (Eclipse Application).

Only if you run the ChartWizardLauncher as an RCP or OSGI the Platform object is set, else it will throw the NullPointer. Now it works.

Thanks for help.

Found this bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=318724
But this was for 2.5.1. Is there a resolve?

Take a look at this thread:

Example is still not complete but may help.
