Basically I get a NullPointerException from
TargetingTool.updateTargetUnderMouse()
[more specifically in
EditPart editPart = getCurrentViewer().findObjectAtExcluding(...
getViewer() returns a null.]
I'm drawing a connection from a node to another node. My implementation
spawns a dialog box for the user to select the output the connection
represents in the source node. The dialog is inherited from the JFace
dialog class. When I click on OK and move the mouse, the
NullPointerException is thrown.
This does not occur when I create a node and a similar JFace dialog is
spawned. And this did not happen with the 2.0 version of GEF. I think that
the reason might be that the connection creation tools are left 'on' while
node creation tools are reset after use.
I debugged the code and found out that AbstractTool.reactivate() is
called. reactivate() calls first deactivate() and then
activate(). deactivate() sets the currentViewer of the tool to null, but
activate() does not reset it to the current viewer.
The call stack goes something like this (other stuff is called in between):
AbstractTool.mouseMove()
AbstractConnectionCreationTool.handleButtonUp()
AbstractTool.handleFinished()
AbstractTool.reactivate()
AbstractConnectionCreationTool.handleMove()
TargetingTool.updateTargetUnderMouse()
AbstractTool.getCurrentViewer() // returns null and causes the NPE.
So, my guess is that the reactivation of the connection creation tool is
broken and should reset the currentViewer to the current viewer where the
tool is active.
If this is not the case, I have some really weird bug in my code and I'd
very much appreciate all the help you can give me :)
