Kickstarter is another option. But finding a Eclipse plugin dev seems to be a 
hard task, I asked around if someone could present about plugin development at 
WOWODC and I didn't get anything. My last resort is to ask in a Eclipse mailing 
list.

How about we just "fund" an Eclipse Plug-In developer? 

We could add money or bitcoins to a community sponsored fund and then see if a 
developer is interested.

I will give this a try and see if that fixes things for me. I am not sure what 
sashWeights does, but I am not sure that is the problem. I have tried doing 
similar things to this in the past and it would work for a while and then go 
back to throwing the NPEs. 

Here are the two things I did in the source to fix things. 

1) There are a lot of source files with garbled comments. I am not sure what 
happened there, but the comments seem to have been added years ago. I think the 
files got corrupted somehow. The java compiler complains about the characters 
not being UTF-8. Since they are not code and I don't know how to recover the 
un-garbbled comments, I just deleted them. 



Can those comments be resurrected from the repository history? Unfortunately 
besides those comments WOLips has no documentation (or is there?) 


<blockquote>
2) There is a kind of race condition. When you open the editor, while preparing 
the editor, it makes a call that makes a call, that makes a call, etc. 
Eventually that gets to a line that call core eclipse code. The core eclipse 
code then tries to access the editor. The problem is that the editor is still 
in the process of opening. There is probably a more elegant way to fix this, 
since the problem is that it is trying to access a variable that has not been 
set yet. The data that will be set already exists in a temporary variable, so 
one possible fix could be to set the variable sooner, but I am not sure if that 
would cause larger problems. However, the line that was causing the problem, 
appeared, based on the comment, to fix an obscure seldom encountered problem. 
So I commented that line out and I have not had any problems. 

Even if deleting that file fixes the current problem, if you go to Jenkins, you 
will see that the source no longer compiles. So, the plugin still needs to be 
fixed.

I do what Lars recommended and it work! 

I did a compare of the file before/after and the only diff is the number of

org.objectstyle.wolips.componenteditor.sashWeights=805,194 
so you can simply remove that properties and it will work again.

Objet : Workaround for annoying NPE bug when opening WOComponent Editor 
Date : 22 octobre 2013 06:49:28 HAE 
À : " [email protected] List List" < 
[email protected] > 

Hi List, 

I don't know if you're also affected by this, but all my coworkers experience 
from time to time those annoying cascades of NPEs when opening a WOComponent in 
the WOComponent Editor on Eclipse Kepler (4.3) and WOLips 4.3 which, once 
they're happening, never go away by themselves. 

Now my coworker Tommy has found a workaround for this: 

- shutdown Eclipse 
- delete 
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.objectstyle.wolips.wodclipse.core.prefs
 from your workspace 
- restart Eclipse 

-> everything should work fine now. When the problem recurs just delete this 
file again. 


I hope this was helpful to some of you. 

cheers, 

Lars

I’m getting an error on 4.3 where if I open a component (the component editor), 
it just shows up empty and then proceeds to throw bazillion

I seem to recall having seen this before, but can’t for the life of me remember 
what I did to fix it. Light any bulbs for anyone?

Unfortunately I got side tracked this weekend, so I did not get a chance to

However, I have not seen the issue you are describing in EOModeler. There are 
times when the properties panel does not populate, but you just have to click 
on something else and then click back. So it is just an annoyance and not a 
problem.

There was some wonkiness in the EOModeler tool too. I vaguely remember you'd go

was sort of impossible to work with. Did that ever get resolved?

Frank, 

While I volunteered to look at this at the last meeting, I have not had the 
time. I would love to help, especially if you’ve gotten something going already 
which would alleviate the dreaded “figure it out first” problem.

I finally got tired of being stuck with Eclipse 3.x and sat dow to figure out 
what was causing the "NullPointerException." 

I found the problem and fixed it and built it locally. I have been running it 
for a couple of days now without any problems. However, there are a couple of 
problems with getting this out to everyone: 

1) There were some libraries that were referenced with environment variables. I 
hard coded the paths (It was 4am). I could probably go back and fix this myself 
after a couple of days. 

2) I took out support for JRebel and JProfiler, because I did not want to track 
down any libraries those are dependent on (again it was 4am). Does anyone have 
experience with these parts? 

3) I am not very familiar with Git so I created my own repository ( 
https://github.com/fcobia/wolips ). Can someone help me get my changes moved 
into the official repository so that jenkins can be successful building for 
Eclipse 4.3? 

Is there anyone interested in having a functioning WOLips for Eclipse 4.3 that 
could help me at least with numbers 2 and 3? 

Thanks, 
Frank
