I will give this a try and see if that fixes things for me. I am not sure what sashWeights does, but I am not sure that is the problem. I have tried doing similar things to this in the past and it would work for a while and then go back to throwing the NPEs.
Here are the two things I did in the source to fix things. 1) There are a lot of source files with garbled comments. I am not sure what happened there, but the comments seem to have been added years ago. I think the files got corrupted somehow. The java compiler complains about the characters not being UTF-8. Since they are not code and I don't know how to recover the un-garbbled comments, I just deleted them. 2) There is a kind of race condition. When you open the editor, while preparing the editor, it makes a call that makes a call, that makes a call, etc. Eventually that gets to a line that call core eclipse code. The core eclipse code then tries to access the editor. The problem is that the editor is still in the process of opening. There is probably a more elegant way to fix this, since the problem is that it is trying to access a variable that has not been set yet. The data that will be set already exists in a temporary variable, so one possible fix could be to set the variable sooner, but I am not sure if that would cause larger problems. However, the line that was causing the problem, appeared, based on the comment, to fix an obscure seldom encountered problem. So I commented that line out and I have not had any problems. Even if deleting that file fixes the current problem, if you go to Jenkins, you will see that the source no longer compiles. So, the plugin still needs to be fixed.
