#84 NullPointerException when activating editor on package-info.

[Stephen]

When opening or otherwise selecting a "package-info.java" file (javadoc standard), I get the following exception:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 2 2012-11-12 15:18:06.836
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.ui.workbench".

Fixed in multi-lang-support branch which will be integrated with version 3.X.

[Stephen]

Thank you for fixing this so quickly.
I'm not sure when the multi-lang release is due out, but if it's more than a few weeks out I ask you to fix this in the main branch and do an interim release.
We make heavy use of package-info.java javadoc and every time I switch to an editor with package-info.java in it I get a modal dialog box in eclipse. It's getting very annoying.
Thanks again.

[Stephen]

Ah - Just found out that this was caused by the Missing Test Method and Missing Test views.
I closed those views and I no longer get modal dialog boxes up every time I switch to the package-info.java editor.
You may ignore my request for an interim release.

Hi Stephen, if you want to use the latest version you can install from:
http://moreunit.sourceforge.net/moreunit-3-alpha
This is our newest version which should be released in a while (and has lot's of changes and new features).
