[jitsi-dev] From within Eclipse: Non-existing property SYSTEM_BUNDLES causes NPE when loading pluginmanager.jar

Danny_van_Heumen · 2014-01-12 21:21:12 UTC

Hi,

Recently I started getting NPE's when starting Jitsi from within
Eclipse. This is caused by a property not being available in the jitsi
properties file (in my case "~/.jitsi/sip-communicator.properties").
The property: net.java.sip.communicator.plugin.pluginmanager.SYSTEM_BUNDLES

I found the property in lib/jitsi-defaults.properties however (on my
machine) it never gets copied into the standard jitsi properties file.
Closing jitsi and manually writing the property to
sip-communicator.properties fixes this problem. (Closing is required
since Jitsi seems to rewrite the file on shutdown.)

Stack trace:
ERROR: Bundle net.java.sip.communicator.plugin.pluginmanager [38] Error
starting reference:file:sc-bundles/pluginmanager.jar
(org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Activator start error in bundle
net.java.sip.communicator.plugin.pluginmanager
[38].)java.lang.NullPointerException

    at
org.apache.felix.framework.StartLevelImpl.run(StartLevelImpl.java:266)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)

I can reproduce this with:
1. delete or move ~/.jitsi
2. start jitsi from Eclipse in my case

This problem does not occur when running Jitsi via 'ant run', for
example, so it might be related to the IDE configuration.
I have followed https://jitsi.org/Documentation/ConfigureEclipseNew to
configure my Eclipse 4.3 IDE with the exception that I did not set the
path variable, but instead configured

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,
Danny

Hey

You need to add the lib directory to the classpath of the run-configuration.

Guess I need to more or less rewrite that howto-page these days...

Right, that does the trick. Thanks!
