Using the UIMA plugins in an RCP application

Hi All,

I am writing an Eclipse RCP application and would like to use the UIMA
component descriptor editor plugin within my RCP application to edit the
UIMA descriptor files. I added them as dependencies and the editor shows
up as an option under "Open with..." menu when I right click on an xml
file. 

 

The problem is when I do try to open it, the editor fails to initialize
and thows an exception. 

 

Here is the root cause:

 

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

            at
org.apache.uima.taeconfigurator.TAEConfiguratorPlugin.<clinit>(TAEConfig
uratorPlugin.java:74)

 

 

Here is the code around line 74 in TAEConfiguratorPlugin.java:

======================

  static {

    Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("org.eclipse.platform");

    String versionString = (String) bundle.getHeaders().get(  --- this
is line 74

            org.osgi.framework.Constants.BUNDLE_VERSION);

    PluginVersionIdentifier version = new
PluginVersionIdentifier(versionString);

    eclipseVersionMajor = version.getMajorComponent();

    eclipseVersionMinor = version.getMinorComponent();

    is30version = eclipseVersionMajor == 3 && eclipseVersionMinor == 0;

  }

======================

 

I am using UIMA 2.2.1. with Eclipse 3.3

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Girish

Hello,

the problem here could be that you do not have the  
org.eclipse.platform.plugin
loaded in your RCP application.

Hope this helps,
