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

["Joel Kamentz" <Joel.Kamentz@xxxxxxx>]

A new day and now I can't reproduce the issue with VE needing to re-open 
twice to pick up a L&F change.

The NPE is already bugged as  105205.

I've created  106088 as a RFE for being able to apply L&F changes without 
needing to close and re-open VE windows.
