[eclipse-pmc] Request to downport bug 482765 - NullPointerException in T

[Kaloyan Raev <kaloyan.r@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The the fix for bug bug 482765 [1] is simple and safe. It is already merged for Oxygen M2. I'd like to request downporting it for Neon.1.

The NullPointerException affects adopters like us who have the TextSearchControl used in a customer editor. This problem is visible to users when restarting the IDE having this custom editor opened. After the restart, the editor is completely broken.

Thank you,
