No idea what caused this, but it happened twice in relatively quick succession: Log: Thu Nov 15 16:07:31 GMT 2001 4 org.eclipse.ui 0 java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.parser.RecoveredMethod.add (RecoveredMethod.java:72) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.parser.RecoveredBlock.add (RecoveredBlock.java:262) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.parser.RecoveredBlock.add (RecoveredBlock.java:262) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.impl.AssistParser.buildInitialRecoveryState (AssistParser.java:163) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.parser.Parser.resumeOnSyntaxError (Parser.java:7018) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.parser.Parser.parse (Parser.java:6416) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.impl.AssistParser.parseBlockStatements (AssistParser.java:712) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.impl.AssistParser.parseBlockStatements (AssistParser.java:688) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.impl.Engine.parseMethod (Engine.java:105) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.impl.Engine.parseMethod (Engine.java:74) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.codeassist.SelectionEngine.select (SelectionEngine.java:301) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.Openable.codeSelect(Openable.java:147) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.Openable.codeSelect(Openable.java:120) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.CompilationUnit.codeSelect (CompilationUnit.java:67) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.hover.JavaTypeHover.getHoverInfo (JavaTypeHover.java:76) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.hover.JavaTextHover.getInformation (JavaTextHover.java:176) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.java.hover.JavaTextHover.getHoverInfo (JavaTextHover.java:153) at org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewerHoverManager.computeInformation (TextViewerHoverManager.java:56) at org.eclipse.jface.text.AbstractInformationControlManager.showInformation (AbstractInformationControlManager.java:523) at org.eclipse.jface.text.AbstractHoverInformationControlManager$MouseTracker.mouse Hover(AbstractHoverInformationControlManager.java:201) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent (TypedListener.java:207) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:54) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Widget.java:635) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:1365) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:1167) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:727) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.run(Workbench.java:710) at org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.InternalBootLoader.run (InternalBootLoader.java:820) at org.eclipse.core.boot.BootLoader.run(BootLoader.java:285) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:151) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:502) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:362)
It is a parser crash. The stack trace indicates you were performing a codeassist action. Could you please try to isolate the code fragment which you were codeassisting inside ? The compilation unit would be enough (no need for other ones around). Furthermore, could you please indicate which build number you were using when this happened ?
I'll see if I can find the compilation unit, although if I'm right it's probably changed rather a lot in the mean time... note that I certainly wasn't *deliberately* using code-assist at the time. I suspect it was automatic code- assist making my life hard again :( (I'm looking forward to the next stable build :) Build 20011107
I think I found the bug. There was one missing null check (when RecoveredMethod has no parent, precisely on line 72 - see stack trace above). No more need for a source sample. Thanks for the feedback.
