Re: [ajdt-dev] Deactivated plug-in bug

[Ron Bodkin <rbodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. We have been doing the remove all plugins, restart, shut 
down, then reinstall to recover. However, it looks like the underlying 
null pointer exception is happening every time.

Is bug 23955 causing this null pointer exception? Is there a way 
to avoid it in the configuration? I took a look at the old sources 
and I believe the null pointer exception is happening at this line 
(383) in AspectJPlugin.java:
				Ajde.init(
					 ajdtEditorAdapter
					,ajdtCompilerMonitor // task list manager
					,ajdtCompilerMonitor // build progress monitor
					,ajdtProjectProperties
					,ajdtBuildOptions
					,ajdtStructureFactory
					,ajdtUIAdapter
					,ajdtErrorHandler 
					);
