[vimplugin-devel] NullPointerException when opening a file with Vim in Eclipse

[Rashmi R. <ras...@gm...>]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying out ViMPlugin for the first time. Thank you so much for this plugin.

The only problem is that, I'm getting a NullPointerException when I
try to open a file with ViM in Eclipse.

Here are the steps I took to open a file:

1) Opened the Resource or the Java perspective.
2) Right clicked on a .txt file and clicked on "Open with ViM"

At this point I get a NullPointerException in Eclipse. Eclipse didn't
show a full stack trace when I clicked on the Details button.

My environment details:

1) ViM Plugin version 0.3.1

2) Eclipse Platform
Version: 3.3.0
Build id: M20070921-1145

3) Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)

4) OS: Windows XP

I've followed the installation instructions mentioned here:
http://vimplugin.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Community.Installation

I'm relatively new to Eclipse, but can find my way around it, however
I don't know how to get the full stack trace.

Please let me know how to get the stack trace in Eclipse , or if I'm
missing anything or doing anything incorrectly.

-Regards
Rashmi

Hey,
    did you specify the path to the gvim executable. If not, please go
to preferences window and  give the path to the executable and try. To
embed the vim into eclipse editor tab, you need to have gvim 7.1.091
or greater.

Hey Nageshwar,

could you please try to quote the mails you reply-to? There were a lot
of flamewars about the issue whether the quote should be above the
reply or beneath, but most ppl agree that there should be a quote. ;-)

Here is a link that describes the issue well:

Please take it as a good advice as i'm sure many ppl (also on
other forums/lists) think like that ...

This is an issue: If the gvim executable is not present, vimplugin
should give warning/error but should not crash ... the NPE should be
caught and dealt with accordingly (MessageBox or similar ...)

Best regards, Sebastian.
