If no connections have been defined in the workspace, creating a new C/C++ Remote Application launch configuration causes a null pointer exception in org.eclipse.rse.internal.remotecdt.RemoteCMainTab.updateConnectionPulldown(RemoteCMainTab.java:329). I think this is because the RemoteCMainTab tries to look up a "shell" configuration category without checking the result. If no connections exist in the workspace, the launch configuration should do something more graceful.
Nice catch - though I expect most users would at least have the "Local" connection so they would not fall into this.
Changing OS from Mac OS to Mac OS X as per bug 185991
I hit this bug as well. Start with a new Europa and install CDT. Then install the Remote Access and Device Development features. Without opening any of the Remote Systems windows, open the Run dialog and create a new C/C++ Remote Application. This will create the null pointer exception. It's because the RSE Manager hasn't started yet.
Created attachment 77497 [details] patch to initialize the SystemRegistry before using it If RSEUIPlugin is not loaded before, the SystemRegistry won't be initialized therefore it is getting a NullPointerException when trying to retrieve hosts from SystemRegistry.
dup of bug 194020
*** Bug 194020 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The basic idea of the patch was correct, but there was two issues with it: 1.) For remotecdt, only connections are valid that do support a shell channel. FTP Only, for instance, would not be valid -- that's the reason why only those which have a "Shell" category were allowed. That code was incorrectly removed. 2.) After loading RSEUIPlugin, the code must wait until the InitRSEJob has run, or the connection pulldown will be empty on first run though it should at least have the "local" connection in it. Fixed the two issues and committed the patch. Thanks!
