I've managed to do a few buckminster builds but I'm getting an error that puzzles me:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2012-08-21 10:32:48.862

I have taken a look at the source code (Buckminster indigo branch from git) and noticed the following:

	public static IPluginModelBase getBestPlugin(String componentName, VersionRange versionDesignator, NodeQuery query) {
		IPluginModelBase candidate = null;
		Version candidateVersion = null;
		synchronized (activeMap) {
			if (activeMap.isEmpty()) {
				for (IPluginModelBase model : PluginRegistry.getAllModels()) {
					BundleDescription desc = model.getBundleDescription();
					String id = desc.getSymbolicName(); // line 85
					IPluginModelBase[] mbArr = activeMap.get(id);
					if (mbArr == null)
						mbArr = new IPluginModelBase[] { model };
					else {
						IPluginModelBase[] newArr = new IPluginModelBase[mbArr.length + 1];
						System.arraycopy(mbArr, 0, newArr, 0, mbArr.length);
						newArr[mbArr.length] = model;
						mbArr = newArr;
					}
					activeMap.put(id, mbArr);
				}
			}
...


The NPE at line 85 is understandable: getBundleDescription() may be null for some subtypes of IPluginModelBase.

FragmentModel => always null.
WorkspaceBundleFragmentModel and WorkspaceBundlePluginModel => null unless setBundleDescription() has been previously called with a non-null value.

Is this a bug in the buckminster/indigo release?

I experimented with a simple patch which seems to work for me.
To be sure, I have to create a proper patch feature with the change below, install it and see if it will work in the environment where I experienced the NPE.

Hi Nicolas,

If you get it working OK, could you please enter a bugzilla and attach the patch there?

TIA,
- thomas
