Hi all,

We're running Eclipse in headless mode and computing classpaths for plugin
projects via BundleDescriptions. On some runs, we unexpectedly get null
as the return value from a call to
IPluginModelBase.getBundleDescription(). Here is the code:


private IPluginModelBase findModel(IProject p) {
return PDECore.getDefault().getModelManager().findModel(p);
}

IProject p = ...;
BundleDescription bd = findModel(p).getBundleDescription();

The documentation says that null can be returned if the project is in a
classic format, but we know that's not the case here since most of the
time getBundleDescription() works correctly.

Our guess is that we're hitting some kind of race condition, but I tried
running the above code in a Job that locks the whole workspace, and we
still saw the problem. I searched Bugzilla and didn't see anything
directly relevant. Any advice on this issue would be very welcome.
Thanks!

Best,
Manu

You may want to ask this question on the PDE newsgroup. I'm not sure
what IPluginModelBase.getBundleDescription() does, but someone from PDE
should know.

Tom.
