Hi,

I'm porting a GMF RCP application to e4 (I'm using eclipse Luna SR1). In particular I'm trying to define the UI using and e4xmi file. I've used the tutorial in [1] to define an e4 aware product backed by an e3 application, and it works well. However, when I try to define a menu the menu appears but it is greyed out. In the logs I found that there was an NPE exception that prevented the HandlerProcessingAddon from loading.

After debugging I found that the NPE is launched because the function org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.addons.HandlerProcessingAddon.processActiveHandler gets null from the context when it tries to get an EHandlerService. My question is:

Do I need to do something in particular for the EHandlerService to be available? Is it even supported to define the menus like that in the setting I'm using?

The log after launching is shown in Listing 1. A copy of my Application.e4xmi is shown in Listing 2.

I found the solution. The problem is that the add ons in the Application model are evaluated in order. The HandlerProcessingAddOn has a dependency on the CommandServiceAddon. The solution is simple, just put the HandlerProcessingAddOn before the CommandServiceAddon in the Application.e4xmi file.
