I'm not getting any exception. Is there are any specific steps to reproduce
the issue?

Prakash,

I don't know how you tried. It works from Windows->Preferences. But if I
launch it in the middle of the program when I don't find a match and I
want to take the user directly to the preference page error occurs.
I can see the preference diaglog fine and I get NPE when I click OK.

Thanks,

Did you provide a stack trace of the NPE exception ?
Without this, I don't see what we can check or look at.

You have a bundle that provides a boggus preference page. I would
contact the provider of the
org.fastcode.preferences.CreateSimilarPreferencePage class.

It is actually my plugin which works fine when opened from Windows ->
Preference. But it gives error when launched by itself.

Thanks,

Hi Gautam,

I took a quick look at your code. You should not directly create the
dialog. Instead use
org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.PreferencesUtil.createPreferenceDialo gOn(Shell,
String, String[], Object)

Thanks. That worked much better. What do you pass as the last argument?
I put null and it worked. Only one problem, my fast code main preference
page is coming as blank as shown in the attachment.

Thanks,

This is optional. We sometimes pass in context that the page then uses
to select a concrete setting on the page.

Thanks. I wonder what the PreferenceUtil does that other method does
not. Any idea why the first page is coming blank?

No idea. If you can reproduce then you should file a bug with a test case.
