Description Richard Kulp CLA 2006-02-16 11:49:15 EST 
If you have an initialized field variable and it is used, but no properties are set on it, you get a parse error and no visuals. 

This is because it is not assigned to any initialize method, so it throws an NPE somewhere.

By the way the workaround for this is to change from:

	final Shell popupShell = new Shell(sShell);
	
	/**
	 * This method initializes sShell
	 */
	private void createSShell() {
		sShell = new Shell();
		sShell.setText("Shell");


to:

	Shell popupShell;
	
	/**
	 * This method initializes sShell
	 */
	private void createSShell() {
		sShell = new Shell();
		popupShell = new Shell(sShell);
		sShell.setText("Shell");
