*sigh*. My IE isn't able to display my attachment. I'm not sure if others will have the same problem, so I'll paste it below just in case: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <log> <log-entry date="Wed Apr 10 11:28:53 EDT 2002"> <status plugin-id="org.eclipse.pde.ui" severity="ERROR" message="java.lang.NullPointerException" code="0"> <exception message="null" trace=" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.plugin.PluginElement.removeAttribute (PluginElement.java:131) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.plugin.PluginElement.setAttribute (PluginElement.java:158) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.NewWizardTemplate.createCategory (NewWizardTemplate.java:127) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.NewWizardTemplate.updateModel (NewWizardTemplate.java:96) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.AbstractTemplateSection.execute (AbstractTemplateSection.java:347) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.ex ecuteTemplates(AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.java:181) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.do Finish(AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.java:131) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard$1. execute(AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.java:86) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.WorkspaceModifyOperation$1.run (WorkspaceModifyOperation.java:64) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.run (Workspace.java:1343) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.WorkspaceModifyOperation.run (WorkspaceModifyOperation.java:78) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.runInCurrentThread (ModalContext.java:296) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.run(ModalContext.java:249) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.run(WizardDialog.java:713) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.pe rformFinish(AbstractNewPluginTemplateWizard.java:95) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.finishPressed (WizardDialog.java:570) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed (WizardDialog.java:311) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$1.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:356) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent (TypedListener.java:85) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Widget.java:488) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java(Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:525) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.NewProjectAction.run(NewProjectAction.java:96) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:590) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection (ActionContributionItem.java:407) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetEvent (ActionContributionItem.java:361) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$0 (ActionContributionItem.java:352) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$ActionListener.handleEvent (ActionContributionItem.java:47) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Widget.java:488) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java (Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.run(Workbench.java:819) at org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.InternalBootLoader.run (InternalBootLoader.java:777) at org.eclipse.core.boot.BootLoader.run(BootLoader.java:319) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:190) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:549) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:390) "> </exception> </status> </log-entry>
A must fix
Some fields in the template pages were initialized late (when page was made visible). However, since wizard can be finished at any time (without ever showing some pages), these fields were never initialized. Added a call to initialize all option fields before executing the template to cover this situation.
