Hi Denny,

Tnx for the quick fix. Although it does seem to work a bit better, I'm still getting the error if I open Eclipse and the Snippet Tree View is visible in the first perspective and there is an (text) editor open in the Editor Area.

Note: I'm saying "(test) editor", because if the open editor is a graphical editor (from GEF), I get the error as well, but if it's a text editor (from DLTK), then the Snippet Tree View instantiates just fine.

Besides this instantiation issue, I ran into two more things that I'd like to run by you (although I do not know if this is the proper place to do so. If not, please point me to the proper location).

Item 1: inside the view, the context menu on nodes coming from a snipex server do not work, until you have right-clicked a node that is locally stored. Right-clicking a snipex node afterwards then all of a sudden does pop up the context menu.

When you right-click the snipex node before having right-clicked a locally stored node, the following error appears in the log:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2010-11-01 09:19:39.840
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.cfeclipse.snippet.snipex.SnipEx cannot be cast to java.io.File

at org.eclipse.jface.action.MenuManager.fireAboutToShow(MenuManager.java:338)
...

Item 2: Once you have the context menu going on the snipex nodes, when you try to use one of the options from it (or click one of the buttons of the view's toolbar when a snipex node is selected), you also get the same ClassCast error as mentioned under Item 1 in the log and nothing happens.

Hope you can shed some light on this, or point me to the proper location to discuss these things.

TIA,

K

K,
I'll follow up with Denny and see if he has any thoughts on this.

Hi, this stand-alone version of the snippet Tree View is great, exactly what I was looking for.

I installed it into my Eclipse, but ran into the following problem:
- If I open Eclipse and the Snippet Tree View is visible or
- When I add the Snippet Tree view to my Perspective when there is no editor open in the Editor Area
the view doesn't initialize properly. The following error is raised:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.cfeclipse.cfml.snippets.properties.CFMLPropertyManager.getSnippetsPath(CFMLPropertyManager.java:103)
at org.cfeclipse.cfml.snippets.views.snips.SnipTreeView.(SnipTreeView.java:153)
at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source)
at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source)
....

If i add the view to my perspective when there is an Editor open, it works just fine.

Any thoughts? I'm posting it here, because I cannot seem to find any other reference to this stand alone version of the Snippet Tree View, neither on the CFEclipse website/wiki/Google groups or anywhere else.

TIA,

K
