Description Mark Howard CLA 2008-02-06 08:53:06 EST 
Build ID: 3.3.1

Steps To Reproduce:
Run the trivial test class attached to Bug #217853

More information:
It used to be possible to run jet transformations without a workspace (according to the ant script given in the tutorial http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-JET2/jet_tutorial2.html)
This currently fails due to a null pointer exception in jdt.internal.core.util.Util.getLineSeparator. This was reported against jdt in Bug #217853, with a trivial patch to fix the problem, but it was rejected with a message saying that the jet code should use org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom instead of org.eclipse.jdt.core.jdom.
So instead of accepting a trivial patch to check for a null pointer, the jet code needs modifications to use a new implementation.
