Run time: Java Lang Problem [message #757625]

Newbie to Eclipse PDT.

Program seems to be working correctly for editing files.

However when I run or try to debug a file, I get the following pop-up error message.

PROBLEM OCCURRED

'Animation start' has encountered a problem.
An internal error has occured.

And then if I click on the details button it says:
An internal error has occurred.
java.lang.NullPointerException

Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening and how to solve it. Thx, domc

I'm having the same problem. Anytime I do a run, debug, or many other commands, I get this same 'Animation start' has encountered a problem. Eclipse still does what I asked it to do, but this modal dialog is annoying with every command. I have turned off animations in my workspace settings hoping that would stop this, but it hasn't. I'm new to Eclipse so don't know how to debug this further. I'm using PDT 3.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, and this seems to be the only thing that doesn't work right.

Try asking in the PDT forum group.

RESOLUTION (for me, anyhow):

seems unchecking the "Launch in Background" checkbox in the COMMON tab on the run configuration made this problem go away for me.
