NPE on SaveAs

Added by Tharaka Devadithya, last edited by Tharaka Devadithya on Nov 09, 2005  (view change)

FLY42 - Save as generates NPE.

Stepping throught the Fluency code revealed that the exception is thrown in LayoutEditor::doSaveAs() at
Shell shell = getSite().getWorkbenchWindow().getShell();
shell.open();
SaveAsDialog dialog = new SaveAsDialog(shell);
dialog.setOriginalFile(((IFileEditorInput) getEditorInput()).getFile());
=> dialog.open();

SaveAsDialog is an Eclipse UI class in package org.eclipse.ui.dialogs. Further stepping through this deep into the Eclipse code revealsed the following:
In WorkbenchImages::getImageDescriptor(), its trying to find the image corresponding to IMG_DLGBAN_SAVEAS_DLG symbolic name, which does not exist.

Since all these constants (e.g., IMG_DLGBAN_SAVEAS_DLG) should be defined in Eclipse classes, I am not sure why this does not exist.
