Re: [ jEdit-devel ] How to solve the null pointer exception in ctagsinterface

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

By itself it might not be, but you've made quite a few changes to
CtagsInterface since
the last release, which was in 29 July 2009.
For example, svn log shows this:



r16396 | shlomy | 2009-10-21 14:21:26 -0700 (Wed, 21 Oct 2009) | 1 line
Updated the dependency of the navigator plugin to the trunk version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16382 | shlomy | 2009-10-20 15:59:10 -0700 (Tue, 20 Oct 2009) | 4 lines
Better integration with Navigator - when jumping to a tag in another buffer,
prev
ent Navigator from recording the initial buffer position (either the
beginning of
 the buffer or the position when the buffer was last closed), so it only
records
the positions before and after the jump.
Navigator is now an optional dependency of CtagsInterface.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16256 | elberry | 2009-09-30 12:50:49 -0700 (Wed, 30 Sep 2009) | 1 line
Switching use of install.dir with jedit.plugins.dir for dependencies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16254 | shlomy | 2009-09-30 12:32:29 -0700 (Wed, 30 Sep 2009) | 1 line
Prevent adding the same origin record twice to the ORIGINS table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16252 | shlomy | 2009-09-30 02:06:18 -0700 (Wed, 30 Sep 2009) | 1 line
Removed a redundant property.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16149 | shlomy | 2009-09-03 00:45:52 -0700 (Thu, 03 Sep 2009) | 1 line
Fixed NPEs when the project listener provides null lists for added/removed
files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16044 | shlomy | 2009-08-23 10:30:30 -0700 (Sun, 23 Aug 2009) | 1 line
Fixed bug ##2843099 - NPE from the plugin's stop() method.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15992 | shlomy | 2009-08-19 07:11:06 -0700 (Wed, 19 Aug 2009) | 1 line
Fixes for including plugin documentation in jEdit help.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15850 | shlomy | 2009-08-03 11:56:27 -0700 (Mon, 03 Aug 2009) | 1 line
Tag completion: Allowing added characters to filter out the completion tags,
and
also backspace to extend the completion tags up to the original prefix.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15831 | shlomy | 2009-07-31 06:56:12 -0700 (Fri, 31 Jul 2009) | 2 lines
Do not cause the ProjectViewer to be loaded due to checking the type of edit
bus messages.
Loading PV while checking the edit bus message causes a
ClassCircularityError because JARClassLoader activates the plugin, and
during activation PV sends another edit bus message.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15830 | shlomy | 2009-07-31 05:28:13 -0700 (Fri, 31 Jul 2009) | 1 line
Fixed bug #2828947: NPE on clean setup.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15821 | shlomy | 2009-07-30 03:14:09 -0700 (Thu, 30 Jul 2009) | 1 line
Tag list dockable: After filtering the tag list, if a single tag remains,
jump to it directly.

You might want to consider adding a changelog to that plugin.
