The new FC6 eclipse cdt generates a java.lang.NullPointerException everytime it tries to save the .cdtproject project file. This occurs when changes are made to a CDT project. For example, adding a new source folder causes the error.
I have isolated the problem to a stand-alone testcase which reads in a current .cdtproject file to prime the information, then goes about the actions taken by the save call. -bash-3.1$ java CDescription Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at gnu.xml.transform.TransformerImpl.strip(libgcj.so.7rh) at gnu.xml.transform.TransformerImpl.strip(libgcj.so.7rh) at gnu.xml.transform.TransformerImpl.strip(libgcj.so.7rh) at gnu.xml.transform.TransformerImpl.strip(libgcj.so.7rh) at gnu.xml.transform.TransformerImpl.transform(libgcj.so.7rh) at CDescription.getAsXml(CDescription.java:93) at CDescription.run(CDescription.java:99) at CDescription.main(CDescription.java:113) -- Summary: NullPointerException in gnu.xml.transform.TransformerImpl.strip(libgcj.so.7rh) Product: gcc Version: 4.1.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libgcj AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: jjohnstn at redhat dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29362
