Description Petr Slegr 2000-09-19 14:33:52 UTC

0. Java editor with a class and global properties window are opened
1. Write e.g.: private int x;
2. Go to previous line and then write public
3. Wait until it is parsed

Now the dialog saying "...exception in
org...propertysheet.editors.ModifierEditor occurred".

Then unexpected NullPointerException will occurr.

I know something about background of this behavior, but from user point of view
it is bug - user did nothing wrong.

I'm modifying the PE to handle such errors gracefully: If you select conflicting
access modifiers, the PE will ignore it silently and display text for both
access types (public protected). If you open the custom property editor (the
dialog-based one with check boxes and access combo box), *empty* line will be
selected in the combo.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
