org.eclipse.wb.internal.core.utils.exception.DesignerException: 313 (Exception during 'super' constructor evaluation). Dialog_(Shell,int) {<null>,3312} java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument cannot be null

the whole file is quite big, so
i assume this is the code snipped giving the error.

...
   protected   Shell          shlBookForm;
...

   /**
    * Create the dialog.
    * @param parent
    * @param style
    */
   public BookForm(Shell parent, int style)
   {
      super(parent,  SWT.SHELL_TRIM | SWT.BORDER);
      setText("Books");
   }

got it fixed.
my bad:
i replaced only org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.formattedtext 2018 version with 2021 version. reverting to the old version fixed it.
not sure if all nebula and more libraries need to be then updated. there are quite many...
