Description tim orme CLA 2004-10-08 17:38:16 EDT 
The following code compiles (I've stripped out other code to assure it wasn't 
something else I was doing)

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception 
{
    JavaCore.getDefaultOptions();
}

but throws the following exception when run

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.getDefaultOptions(JavaCore.java:1545)
	at TestClass.main(TestClass.java:45)
Exception in thread "main" 

Am I missing some configuration/setup? (I'm new to using these APIs)

You need to use JDT/Core in a headless Eclipse. If not, you get this
NullPointerException.
