>             Project: JBoss Tools
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: JBoss Tools Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1
>         Environment: WinXP SP2

> JBossTools plugin installation has a bug where some editors throw a NullPointerException if the plugin is installed using Local Site.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Install Eclipse 3.3.1.1 JEE using eclipse-jee-europa-fall2-win32.zip by unzipping to C:\eclipse
> 2. Unzip JBossTools-2.0.0.CR1-ALL-win32.zip to C:\jbosstoolsinstall
> 3. Start Eclipse with eclipse.exe -clean
> 4. Help > Software Updates > Find and Install > Search for new features to install > Next
> 5. New Local SIte > C:\jbosstoolsinstall
> 6. Finish plugin installation by following prompts. Quit Eclipse and restart it with eclipse.exe -clean
> 7. Create a new empty simple project. Create an html file. It opens automatically with the JBoss Tools HTML Editor, immediately throwing a NullPointerException (See attached error log). The same happens if you create an XHTML or JSP file, or try to open an existing file of type HTML, XHTML, or JSP.
> Tested on 2 similar computers. The behavior is consistent. 
> Workaround: 
> Don't use Local Site to install JBossTools plugins. Instead, just copy the contents of the features and plugins folders into the corresponding Eclipse folders, then restart Eclipse.
