Description Christian Jaeger CLA 2009-09-03 04:27:06 EDT 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2
Build Identifier: 20090619-0625

In the method createPerspective of class org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage, a catch block deals with exceptions creating a perspective. 
However, in this catch block the exception is not logged/stored in any way. An error dialog is shown to the user (exception not attached to the dialog), but as no information is logged, it is impossible for the developer to find out what happened.

Reproducible: Always

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
