Hello all,

Im looking for a example of a user made scope for the eclipse preferences. I found this one (at the end of the document):

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/documents/user_ settings/faq.html

My Problem is, that it doesnt work. Im getting a NullPointerException when ServerScope.Node(String) is called
.
The only thing they do in the example is to create a Scope and a Node for it. Can someone post an example of a working scope?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Wim,

Yes i Tried the example project from this page. My Problem is the following i try to add a node to my Scope node and after that i get the NullPointerExample.
I Wrote a little example so its more clear what i mean:

IPreferencesService service = Platform.getPreferencesService();
		service.setDefaultLookupOrder(Activator.PLUGIN_ID,
				"myDefaultLookUpOrder", new String[] {
						MyScope.SCOPE, ConfigurationScope.SCOPE, InstanceScope.SCOPE,
						DefaultScope.SCOPE });
		String key = "name";
		String defaultValue = "Error while loading Property";

		IEclipsePreferences root = service.getRootNode();
                Preferences myScopeNode = root.node(myScopeNode.SCOPE)
                                .node(Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
                myScopeNode.put("name","Eddy");
		Preferences instanceNode = root.node(InstanceScope.SCOPE)
				.node(Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
		instanceNode.put("name", "Test");
		Preferences configurationNode = root.node(ConfigurationScope.SCOPE)
				.node(Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
		configurationNode.put("name", "Wim");
		Preferences defaultNode = root.node(DefaultScope.SCOPE).node(
				Activator.PLUGIN_ID);
		defaultNode.put("name", "Lukas");
		Preferences[] nodes = new Preferences[] { myScopeNode, configurationNode,
				instanceNode, defaultNode };
System.out.println("Name: " + service.get(key, defaultValue, nodes));

The Code is in a View and called after "cratePartcontrol" Method.
The Line "Preferences myScopeNode = root.node(myScopeNode.SCOPE).node(Activator.PLUGIN_ID);" cause the NullPointerException because in the Scope (same implementation like in the example) the method "public Preferences node(String path)" returns null. And thats wrong as far is i know.

Without my own Scope it works.
