Plugin configuration problem within Eclipse Oxygen.R

[Stephan Muc81927]

First a Hello to all, this is my first posting here!
If this is a duplicate, I apologize for that, because my first try to post in "Open Discussion" does not show up.

I have a problem with eclipse-cs when upgrading from Neon.3 to Oxygen.R.
(I use Eclipse on Windows 10-1703)

Minimal steps from scratch to demonstrate the problem:
1. Downloading eclipse-jee-oxygen-R-win32-x86_64.zip from eclipse.org
2. Unpacking the zip file.
3. Starting eclipse.exe with option -vm pointing to C:/My path/jre1.8.0_131/bin and accepting
the newly created empty default workspace.
4. Installing Checkstyle plugin from Update Site: http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/update/
5. After restart of eclipse, going to Windows->Preferences->Checkstyle
6. At this point we have onyl two Check configurations: Google and Sun.
7. Selecting one of them and then push the button "Configure" nothing happens.
8. The Error.log shows the following message and stack trace:
(This is also the case with any other personal Check Configuration)
"Unhandled event loop exception"

Where is the problem:
Oxygen
eclipse-cs
My system
My brain
?

[one]

Use attached archive as Repository location (Help->Install New Software...->Add...->Archive...).
It works fine with my Eclipse Oxygen :)

[Stephan Muc81927]

Now it works for me too. I guess, that is a version with fixed bug #421. When is this version staged on the update site? I think customizing check configurations in a project specific way is an important feature.

[Lars Koedderitzsch]

Version 8.0.0 will show up on the update site shortly, including the mentioned fix for Oxygen.

.@Aditya I couldn't reproduce at first glance, please provide steps - preferably in a bug ticket.

Judging from the location of the NPE a full clean/rebuild of your workspace might help.

[Aditya Poosarla]

Tried clean and build, did not work. Created a bug 424
