When migrating a standalone SWT/JFace application from 3.1M5a to 3.1M6 I
got the following error when opening the main application window:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.update(Actio nContributionItem.java:749)
at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.fill(ActionC ontributionItem.java:281)

at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:770)
at net.ggtools.grand.ui.Application.run(Application.java:251)

I find out that this is related to the accelerator in the actions I add to
the menus, and removing the call to setAccelerator in the actions
constructors solves the problem. Since I'd really like to have
accelerators I'm wondering if I don't miss something in my menu creation.

The ApplicationWindow menu manager is created like this:

protected MenuManager createMenuManager() {
manager = new MenuManager();
manager.add(new FileMenuManager(this));
...
}

With the constructor of FileMenuManager being:

public FileMenuManager(GraphWindow window) {
super("File");
add(new OpenFileAction(window));
...
}

Hi Christophe,

I can't comment on whether your code is correct/complete, but I notice that
your stack looks similar to recent report
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=90415 , so you should CC
yourself to it to see its resolution.
