RichUI in EDT 0.8.0

This is probably trivial but I am just not able to figure it out. This code gives me a nullpointerexcpetion and I cannot figure out the syntax.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

	urlString string = document.location;

It works for me in 0.8.1 M3. Preview mode, external browser, and deployed.

Maybe it's something that was fixed at some point between 0.8.0 and now.

Nathan,

Did you put the sentence to the body of RUIHandler as instance variable? It does have problem in both 0.8 & 0.81 when you doing so, and a bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385251 was opened for this.

But you could have following 2 work-around to avoid the problem,

1) Add self before document.location as following: urlString string = self.document.location;
2) Move the urlString string = document.location; to the function as local variable of function.

Hope it could help you.
