I'm attempting to migrate my code for starting up a headless eclipse workspace from 3.x to Juno. With e4 it seems that the proper route would be to create a headless presentation engine to replace the default PartRenderingEngine, but in my attempts to use the HeadlessContextPresentationEngine, I've run into a problem where the event broker is never injected resulting in the headless engine failing with an NPE during its postConstruct.
Here is how I'm overriding the default PartRenderingEngine
<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products" id="org.eclipse.sdk.ide">
<product application="org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.E4Application">
<property name="presentationURI" value="bundleclass://org.sample/org.eclipse.e4.ui.tests.application.HeadlessContextPresentationEngine" />
</product>
</extension>
I then start eclipse normally letting it run the default workbench application which fails to start with this NPE due to the eventBroker being null:

Looking at the eclipse source I can't figure out why the default PartRenderingEngine would have its eventBroker injected, but the HeadlessContextPresentationEngine wouldn't.

Brian de Alwis wrote on Tue, 24 July 2012 08:52Just curious, but if it's headless, why don't you just supply your own IApplication? Why bother running the workbench?
I need to run the workbench because I'm exposing eclipse features via console commands (eclim.org). For eclipse 3.x I had a dedicated IApplication which included some gross hacks so I could call PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(...) and prevent it from rending anything, but those hacks no longer work.

Thanks for the hint! Turns out I was just missing javax.inject in my dependencies. Now on to the next set of NPEs...
