Hello All,

I have recently installed the below version of Eclipse in Windows 10 Enterprise Edition (64 Bit) Operating System.

Quote:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Neon.1a Release (4.6.1)
Build id: 20161007-1200

After the installation, I have cloned a GIT repository and whenever i try to browse them though the package explorer I frequently get the below error message.

Quote:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
java.lang.NullPointerException

Attaching the screenshot with this message for the reference. Any help would be appreciated.

I had this problem before and I know some ways that might fix it.
Make sure none of your code is running a null reference or object.
If there is any reference to a null object change it from null. If that does not work look at
the oracle documentations on errors. Hope that fixes it.
