NullPointerException in SetPerspective [message #870993]

Hola,

I'm using Indigo and JavaSE 1.6 to create a Rap app.

I created an additional plugin which defines a new Perspective.

In the ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor of the main plugin, the configurer.setShowPerspectiveBar is set to true.

In Run Configurations I added/selected the new bundle.

When I try to switch to the new perspective, i got the following error.

Am I missing something?

Hola Hugo,

our demo bundle org.eclipse.rap.demo contains different perspectives.
The bundle org.eclipse.rap.demo.databinding contributes another
perspective. Maybe you can spot the difference between your application
and this demo? Have you tried your application with RCP?

Saludos, Ralf

Hola Ralf,

thanks for your response.

I did another try with a simple sample and it worked.

I will dig a little bit more on mine.

Gracias!

Hi,

Had the same issue (rap version 1.5).
Helped to add configurer.setShowCoolBar(true) to resolve the issue.

public class ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor extends WorkbenchWindowAdvisor {

	public ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor(IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer) {
		super(configurer);
	}

	@Override
	public void preWindowOpen() {
		IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
		// some how cool bar is required for rap to switch perspectives,
		// otherwise - NPE
		configurer.setShowCoolBar(true);
		
.....
