Home made update site: NullPointerException when selecting feature [message #319468]

Dear All,

I created an update site for my company containing a single category with
4 features. When I try to install features from this site using the update
manager I get the following NPE on feature select:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.ReviewPage$TreeConten tProvider.getParent(ReviewPage.java:181)
at
org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.ReviewPage.getSite(Re viewPage.java:1370)
at
org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.ReviewPage.access$29( ReviewPage.java:1367)
at
org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.ReviewPage$13.run(Rev iewPage.java:816)
at
org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread. run(ModalContext.java:113)

I do not get this if I select the category instead.

Site created using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.2.2, Build id: M20070212-1330
Site accessed using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.2.2, Build id: M20070212-1330

What have I done wrong?

Thanks,

Miles

Does your category have a name? Without looking deep into the problem,
usually you're missing a name or label on a required attribute.

Chris,

Here is my site.xml. It seems fine to me.

Thanks,
