This bug is either similar or identical to 86051. This time, there's no stack trace either in the error log or in the message, so it's really hard to give any more details. I'm using build: 1.2.0.20050325175227
Hi Nick, We're fairly sure the other bug is fixed, so this is probably a different problem. I assume you get the error dialog again? And I take it there is nothing useful in the problems view either? Matthew, this might be the same as the one you hit earlier, although of course without a stack trace for either, it's hard to tell! We need to find the place where our FFDC aspect is not doing its thing!!

Thanks Nick. I think I've found the case where an exception thrown down in AspectJ doesn't get written to the eclipse log (only the error dialog is shown). Our FFDC aspect unfortunately isn't woven into the compiler itself!! I've added the appropriate log() call, and will upload a new dev build tomorrow, so we will then hopefully get to see what the real problem is!
Created attachment 19413 [details] updated ajdtui.jar Nick, we're having problems uploading a build. If you have chance before that is resolved, you could try the attached updated jar file for the org.eclipse.ajdt.ui plugin.
The build has now been uploaded: ajdt_1.2.0.20050331181000
Nick: ho hum, trying new April 7 build Bug: _I STILL LIVE_ Nick: AAAAH! (downgrading) :)
Nick, I'm fairly sure that if the bug still occurs you should now at least get a stack trace in your .log. Please can you check. If not, please can you enter the exact title and exact text of this error rogue dialog. Thanks.
Ah, you are correct, this time I have a stack trace: (April 7 build integrated for Eclipse 3.0.1) !ENTRY org.eclipse.ajdt.ui 4 0 Apr 08, 2005 14:16:17.572 !MESSAGE NullPointerException thrown: null !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.aspectj.apache.bcel.classfile.JavaClass.getAllInterfaces(JavaClass.java:862) at org.aspectj.apache.bcel.classfile.JavaClass.implementationOf(JavaClass.java:775) at org.aspectj.apache.bcel.Repository.implementationOf(Repository.java:224) at org.aspectj.apache.bcel.Repository.implementationOf(Repository.java:231) at org.aspectj.apache.bcel.generic.ReferenceType.isAssignmentCompatibleWith(ReferenceType.java:128) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.Utility.createConversion(Utility.java:387) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelRenderer.renderExpr(BcelRenderer.java:78) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelRenderer.visit(BcelRenderer.java:237) at org.aspectj.weaver.ast.Call.accept(Call.java:30) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelRenderer.recur(BcelRenderer.java:148) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelRenderer.visit(BcelRenderer.java:157) at org.aspectj.weaver.ast.And.accept(And.java:27) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelRenderer.recur(BcelRenderer.java:148) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelRenderer.renderTest(BcelRenderer.java:114) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelAdvice.getTestInstructions(BcelAdvice.java:358) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelShadow.weaveAroundClosure(BcelShadow.java:2293) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelAdvice.implementOn(BcelAdvice.java:152) at org.aspectj.weaver.Shadow.implementMungers(Shadow.java:471) at org.aspectj.weaver.Shadow.implement(Shadow.java:350) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelClassWeaver.implement(BcelClassWeaver.java:1618) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelClassWeaver.weave(BcelClassWeaver.java:386) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelClassWeaver.weave(BcelClassWeaver.java:92) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWeaver.weave(BcelWeaver.java:1267) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWeaver.weaveWithoutDump(BcelWeaver.java:1232) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWeaver.weaveAndNotify(BcelWeaver.java:1026) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWeaver.weave(BcelWeaver.java:915) at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.compiler.AjCompilerAdapter.weave(AjCompilerAdapter.java:244) at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.compiler.AjCompilerAdapter.afterCompiling(AjCompilerAdapter.java:119) at org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:385) at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.performCompilation(AjBuildManager.java:683) at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.doBuild(AjBuildManager.java:191) at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.incrementalBuild(AjBuildManager.java:109) at org.aspectj.ajde.internal.CompilerAdapter.compile(CompilerAdapter.java:117) at org.aspectj.ajde.internal.AspectJBuildManager$CompilerThread.run(AspectJBuildManager.java:165)
Thanks Nick, that's good progress. I know how much Andy likes BCEL bugs so I'm passing it over :)
That NPE comes out because of an earlier failure trying to locate an interface which results in a ClassNotFoundException. BCEL (unfortunately) swallows the CNFE, the only bit of diagnostic material coming out being a line to system.err detailing what couldn't be found. Sorry to ask you this Nick, but can you try recreating but starting your Eclipse with the '-console' option as that may cause the message to system.err to come out in a separate window. I'm loathed to hack fix this NPE as it will then be hiding the underlying problem entirely.
