What should I have done? (NullPointerException)
![]()
(RTC 5.0.2, Eclipse Client, Windows 7)
I can't send a picture (not enough reputation) so I'll describe the error dialog. I started an RTC client this morning and got this useless dialog. I then restarted RTC successfully, but what should I do if it happens again? Problem occurred '' has encountered a problem. An error occurred during "". [OK] [<<Details] An internal error occurred during "". java.lang.NullPointerException |

Hi Eddie, I would look at the .log file from the workspace directory. That log will have more data on the exception you see.
A corrective action might be to start with a fresh workspace location and you could report the issue to IBM Support for further investigation.

Comments Thanks Sunil. I can't reproduce the problem, but here is the log (incidentally, it is in the .metadata directory, not the workspace directory). It's still gobbledegook.
!SESSION 2015-10-09 09:17:07.458 ----------------------------------------------- This is the right .log file. Since you cannot reproduce the issue anymore, it's hard to say what actually went wrong. Judging by the stack trace, the exception was thrown when RTC Eclipse client tried to open the repository connection. It could be that there was a network issue or something, or the Eclipse workspace had some minor corruption.
