Build ID: I20080523-0100 Steps To Reproduce: just start to build the whole project by Project -> Clean More information: The build will stop at an exception, showing an error icon at line 0 which is package declaration, and with one and only item in Problem ivew, with error message as below. ---------------------------------------------------------- error stack in Problems view (3.4RC2): Description Resource Path Location Type Internal compiler error java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolveTypeParameterTags(Javadoc.java:532) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolve(Javadoc.java:315) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.FieldDeclaration.resolve(FieldDeclaration.java:262) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:1050) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:1184) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.CompilationUnitDeclaration.resolve(CompilationUnitDeclaration.java:535) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.process(Compiler.java:743) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ProcessTaskManager.run(ProcessTaskManager.java:137) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) SetLCTPasswordHelper.java ... line 0 Java Problem ----------------------------------------------- Actually I just got this error with each of the builds after 3.4M7, and I hope it could be resolved by next Eclipse release during the past days, but still get the same error on the latest 3.4RC2 :( in 3.4M7, it will also report the same error, but will not block the entire project build, with error stack as below: ---------------------------------------------------------- error stack in Problems view (3.4M7): Internal compiler error java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolveTypeParameterTags(Javadoc.java:532) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolve(Javadoc.java:315) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.FieldDeclaration.resolve(FieldDeclaration.java:262) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:1050) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:1184) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.CompilationUnitDeclaration.resolve(CompilationUnitDeclaration.java:535) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.process(Compiler.java:737) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ProcessTaskManager.run(ProcessTaskManager.java:128) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

Created attachment 101950 [details] the java class that will get NPE when compile To compile the attached java class will get NPE with stack here like: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Description Resource Path Location Type Internal compiler error java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolveTypeParameterTags(Javadoc.java:532) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolve(Javadoc.java:315) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.FieldDeclaration.resolve(FieldDeclaration.java:262) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:1050) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:1184) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.CompilationUnitDeclaration.resolve(CompilationUnitDeclaration.java:535) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.process(Compiler.java:737) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ProcessTaskManager.run(ProcessTaskManager.java:128) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) NPETest.java minisoft/src/org/eclipse/npetest line 0 Java Problem
Smells like a RC3 candidate.
To reproduce, compiler compliance must be 1.5. If this is a recent regression, this should be fixed for RC3
I'll investigate
(In reply to comment #4) > To reproduce, compiler compliance must be 1.5. If this is a recent regression, > this should be fixed for RC3 > NPE reproduced using 3.4M7 AND 3.3.2: this is not a recent regression. The (to be attached) NPE stack is different in 3.3.2
Created attachment 101958 [details] NPE stack using 3.3.2
Created attachment 101963 [details] Proposed patch I can confirm this is not a regression and this potential NPE has existed since 3.1 when the 1.5 syntax was implemented for Javadoc comments! However, the fix is more than simple: change to use the correct array in the resolveTypeParameterTags(Scope, boolean) method. This problem was surely due to an unfortunate copy/paste typo while creating this method...
patch looks good: +1
I just didn't realize that the problem was there for such a long time, and caused by mis-used javadoc tag. I just think if I get this compilation problem each time, someone else will definitely also find it, and report bug then being fixed. So I didn't report this at first. Otherwise I will do this more earlier... Anyway, the fix will be good, :)
+1 for rc3
Patch looks good: +1
Released for 3.4RC3 in HEAD stream.
verified on Eclipse build no: I20080528-2000
Verified for 3.4RC4 using build I20080530-0100
