#1878 SVNPlugin 1.8.12 - Commit dialog doesn't appear

[Robert Schwenn]

When I choose "commit" from the right-click menu of text area (or of "status" output changed file), the commit dialog doesn't appear. The Activity Log (attached) shows an exception starting with following lines:

22:46:02 [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
22:46:02 [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.lang.NullPointerException

22:46:02 [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: at ise.plugin.svn.gui.LoginPanel.<init>(LoginPanel.java:51)

jEdit 5.3.0
Oracle JRE 1.8.0_121 / Windows 10 Pro (1607)

BTW:
When I try to commit a file which isn't a working copy, also nothing happens but an exception. Not sure whether this is the same bug or not.

This looks very similar to 1877, if there is no stored password, the NPE appears. I'll look through the rest of the password handling and see if there are any similar errors.

Fixed in revision 24630, same bug was in ImportDialog.java and PVSVNOptionPane.java, fixed those at the same time. The issue was attempting to convert a null char[] (since there was no saved password) to a String.
