Please correct this bug. This is a very useful plugin for me.

Thank you.

I really miss this plugin in 3.4.x Eclipse.

This is a very useful plugin! Please amend this!

It seems that this plugin has bit-rotted and is not being maintained anymore? Fails with NullPointerExceptions in Eclipse 3.4

[Nobody/Anonymous]

please anybody fix this bug. I need this plugin. (or is there an alternative plugin?)

I looked up -quickly- at this bug, it seems to be related to eclipse 3.3

Basically you can either catch the nullpointer ex in EditorViewer//getImage() and return null, you won't have the icons for filetypes, but the plugin is still working.

I'll try to figure out how to make the icons work, but I haven't got much time and I'm not an Eclipse expert. Plus I'm tinkering with 0.1.5 sources (could not find 0.1.6)

[Mihai Sz.]

To return null, you will get into a lot of pop up messages from Eclipse (for each image this method returns null).
Modify EditorViewerLabelProvider.getImage(Object element) method to return
WorkbenchLabelProvider.getDecoratingWorkbenchLabelProvider().getImage(element);
this worked for me.

Here is a fix for eclipse 3.4 : http://jophn.free.fr/dev/EditorViewer.zip
Made on sources from version 0.5.1, a friend made the fix, credits aren't for me ;)

Quick note - the fix is not only catching the null, it makes the icons work! The catch is only a workaround, this is the 'real' fix :-)
