When I run the following code, I get a NullPointerException being thrown
from:

IWorkbenchWindow window = JavaPlugin.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();

Can anyone provide any insight as to why this is happening, and how I can
fix it?

public class OurAst {
private IWorkbenchWindow window;
private IWorkbenchPage wbp;
private IEditorPart edt;
private IEditorInput ei;
private IWorkingCopyManager mgr;
private IWorkspace workspace;
private AST ourAST;

//default constructor
OurAst() {
try {
IWorkspace workspace = JavaPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkbenchWindow window = JavaPlugin.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
...... (More code, but it's currently all commented out)
}
catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

};

Is your code parts of a plug-in and do you launch as Eclipse Run-time
Workbench? If not, then there's no workbench (window). And of course
providing a stack trace here would help to tell you more about the problem.

This may also fail if you do not call it in the UI (main) thread.
