RE: [dsdp-tm-dev] RE: Using the terminal in an RCP 
Attached is my .log file.

What I did is create an extension in my RCP pointing to the TerminalView
class:
      <view
            class="org.eclipse.tm.internal.terminal.view.TerminalView"
            id="org.eclipse.tm.terminal.TerminalView"
            name="Terminal View">
      </view>

Then, in my Perspective class I add this view by using the id:
	viewFolder.addView("org.eclipse.tm.terminal.TerminalView");

The NullPointer exception I'm getting is in
org.eclipse.tm.internal.terminal.view.TerminalView.setupMenus().

Thanks, Gabe

Hello Gabe,

based on your information, it is hard to tell what
the problem is. So here is some general advice:

* In order to get started, it might be easier for
  you to load the source of the terminal plugins
  into your workspace from CVS. This allows 
  easier debugging. Load the terminal-anonymous.psf
  project set from 
  http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/development/cvs_setup.php

* Then debug your appliation out of Eclipse PDE.
  Choose Run > Java Exception Breakpoint and set a
  breakpoint on NullPointerException. You should see
  where it actually fails.

* If you don't get any further yourself, you could try
  sending the exception backtrace to this list. If you
  have a Workspace (don't know if you have), then you 
  should find it in workspace/.metadata/.log

* I'm not sure if I understand right what you mean by
  "created a view extension pointing to". Adding the
  Terminal View to your perspective by reference should
  suffice.

Cheers,
