Change any CFEclipse setting and clicking 'OK' produces java.lang.NullPointerException

[Thomas]

This error occurs when clicking the 'OK' button while on the CFEclipse preferences node. The preferences are not saved when this error appears. You can save the preferences by clicking the 'Apply' button, but not the 'OK' button.

I have tried complete Eclipse/CFEclipse reinstalls. I have also tried different/older versions of the JRE.

To reproduce the error (Windows Vista SP1, Eclipse 3.3.2, and CFEclipse 1.3.1.6)...

Click Window -> Preferences

Click/Highlight the CFEclipse node, change any preference, and click the 'OK' button.

The following dialog box appears:
"An error has occurred. See error log for more details."

The error log:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.jface 4 0 2008-04-16 10:12:59.709
!MESSAGE java.lang.NullPointerException?
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException?

The performOk() method still contains code referencing the template path preference, which has been removed. I recommend removing the code until template path is implemented. If possible apply the template path preference in a branch and merge to trunk when ready. The patch.txt file attached should resolve the issue.
