Hello all,

I'm experiencing a strange problem with the latest Eclipse (2020.03) CDT with eGIT. Whenever I open Git perspective, I'm greeted with NullPointerException errors.

The errors popup in every action I do. eGIT's functionality seems unaffected but, errors make it unusable. When I close the perspective completely, errors go away.

The logs don't provide much information, so I cannot dig further. The system is Debian Testing with OpenJDK 14. System was running previous versions (up to 2019.12) so I'm sure that the system has no software dependency problems.

Other parts of the Eclipse is perfectly operational.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is a known bug in EGit 5.7.0.

Work-arounds are:

  1. Install EGit nightly, which contains a fix for this, from the update site https://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-nightly , or
  2. Switch on the preference at Preferences->General->Appearance->Use mixed fonts and colors for labels.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answer. I've enabled Use mixed fonts and colors for labels option from the settings and, everything is fine now.

All the best,

Hakan
