Initializing Bean Models NPE

[msuiter]

I'm using IBM Rational Application Developer which is based on Eclipse 3.4 I installed the following into it:

1. Spring IDE from http://dist.springframework.org/release/IDE

2. Spring Tool Suite from http://www.springsource.com/milestone/e3.4

When I start Eclipse, I get the following error:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2009-06-29 09:33:17.511

msuiter,

can you please open a JIRA against Spring IDE and run your RAD with a Sun JVM so that we can get line number information. Otherwise this is hard to debug.

Maybe there is an option to turn debug information back on.

Here it is with line numbers. This install is Spring IDE 2.2.5.M1. I'll create a Jira for it.

Hi,
i have installed Spring IDE 2.2.6-RELEASE.
The above problem seems to still exist. I am getting following exception.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Also, if i am getting a major issue with 2.2.6. When i try to create a bean definition file, the wizard doesnt come up throwing an NPE. is this an know issue ? Please find the NPE exception below.

Thanks for any help,
Harsha.

[skoppell]

just to add if it helps, my eclipse env is 3.4.2.

[Christian Dupuis]

skopell,

thanks for reporting those errors. Both of those are fixed in the latest nightly build and will be fixed on the next version of Spring IDE.

The second issue is a side-effect of the first stacktrace.

You can update your Spring IDE from the nightly update site to get started again: http://dist.springframework.org/snapshot/IDE/nightly (this update site only works in Eclipse; not in your web browser)

HTH

Christian
