The build fails when doing a "Rebuild All", which prevents me from getting a functional workspace. The error meessage is: Build problems Errors during build. java.lang.NullPointerException encountered while running org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.JavaBuilder. The machine is a Gentoo Linux box running Sun's JDK 1.4.2_02, kernel 2.6.0-test11, GNOME desktop environment, and the Enlightenment window manager. The stack trace is as follows: !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 4 2 Dec 04, 2003 09:51:55.188 !MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.core.resources". !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.lookup.MethodBinding.areParametersEqual(MethodBinding.java:63) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.Javadoc.resolve(Javadoc.java:141) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.AbstractMethodDeclaration.resolveJavadoc(AbstractMethodDeclaration.java:366) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.ConstructorDeclaration.resolveJavadoc(ConstructorDeclaration.java:397) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.AbstractMethodDeclaration.resolve(AbstractMethodDeclaration.java:356) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:926) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.TypeDeclaration.resolve(TypeDeclaration.java:975) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.CompilationUnitDeclaration.resolve(CompilationUnitDeclaration.java:271) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.process(Compiler.java:515) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:328) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.AbstractImageBuilder.compile(AbstractImageBuilder.java:205) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.AbstractImageBuilder.compile(AbstractImageBuilder.java:155) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.BatchImageBuilder.build(BatchImageBuilder.java:51) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.JavaBuilder.buildAll(JavaBuilder.java:212) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.builder.JavaBuilder.build(JavaBuilder.java:135) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager$2.run(BuildManager.java:493) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.InternalPlatform.run(InternalPlatform.java:824) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.run(Platform.java:479) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:138) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:209) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:164) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager$1.run(BuildManager.java:190) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.InternalPlatform.run(InternalPlatform.java:824) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.run(Platform.java:479) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuild(BuildManager.java:193) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.basicBuildLoop(BuildManager.java:227) at org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager.build(BuildManager.java:255) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Workspace.build(Workspace.java:165) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.GlobalBuildAction$1.run(GlobalBuildAction.java:184) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread.run(ModalContext.java:101)
Could you please provide your test case?
Do you have the same error if the option 'Problems in Javadoc tags' is set to 'Ignore'?
Thank you for your help. Setting "Preferences > Java > Compiler > Problems in Javadoc tags" to "Ignore" makes the problem go away. Previously, I had it set to "Warning". Downgrading to major, since a workaround exists, but the functionality is somewhat important (?).
It would be really helpful for me to have a test case. Or, would it be possible for you to apply a patch on source file(s) if I cannot reproduce the problem?
I can reproduce the problem: file X.java: public class X { X(String str) {} } file Y.java public class Y extends X { /** * @see X#X(STRING) */ Y(String str) {super(str);} } When you save file Y.java, then you get the NPE... If you remove the @see reference or fix the invalid type in argument: public class Y extends X { /** * @see X#X(String) */ Y(String str) {super(str);} } then the NPE also disappear... This can be another workaround if you can easily identify where the invalid reference is... Otherwise, the fix is ready and after performing all tests, it will be released surely for integration build next week
Fixed. Binding control was invalid before starting looking at @see reference in overriden methods (see bug 47339). Test cases added in jdt.core.tests.compiler.regression.JavadocTestMixed
Verified for 3.0M6
