[news.eclipse.tools.ve] Re: Changing Preview L&F

[Sri Gunturi <sgunturi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

imho I dont think apply is live, as the remote VM is not restarted on 
L&F change. It should definitely pick it up the next time a VE editor is 
opened. Please open a defect against VE for this and also put exceptions 
you are seeing so that we can fix this 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=VE).

If the NPE on setPaletteViewer() is a seperate problem, please open 
another defect for that too so that we can fix it soon.
Regards,
Sri.
