[news.eclipse.technology.ercp] showView() NullPointerException

[kevin.ross@xxxxxxxxxx (Kevin Ross)]

I have an ercp app using M8 that has several views.  When I test the views 
on win32, all is well.  When I test on the wm2003 device, one of the views 
doesn't work, failing on a NullPointerException in 
Perspective.showView(Unknown Source).

I use the following code to show views from navigation: 

   private void showView( String id ) {

       try {
           
Plugin.getDefault().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().showView( 
id );
       }
       catch (PartInitException ex) {

           log.error( "Failed to show view: " + id, ex );
           throw new RuntimeException( "Failed to show view: " + id, ex );
       }
   }


Resulting in:

What am I missing?  What should I try?

Thanks in advance,
