NullPointerException in creating ProvisioningJob for headless update of eclipse rcp application

I am implementing headless force update of the eclipse application. I have used the P2Util class from https://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fp2_startup.htm but my code is returning null pointer exception at ProvisioningJob job = operation.getProvisioningJob(null); the job object is coming null. Does anyone know the possible reason for this null object.
public class P2Util {
// XXX Check for updates to this application and return a status.
static IStatus checkForUpdates(IProvisioningAgent agent, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws OperationCanceledException {
ProvisioningSession session = new ProvisioningSession(agent);
// the default update operation looks for updates to the currently
// running profile, using the default profile root marker. To change
// which installable units are being updated, use the more detailed
// constructors.
UpdateOperation operation = new UpdateOperation(session);
SubMonitor sub = SubMonitor.convert(monitor,
"Checking for application updates...", 200);
IStatus status = operation.resolveModal(sub.newChild(100));
if (status.getCode() == UpdateOperation.STATUS_NOTHING_TO_UPDATE) {
return status;
}
if (status.getSeverity() == IStatus.CANCEL)
throw new OperationCanceledException();
if (status.getSeverity() != IStatus.ERROR) {
// More complex status handling might include showing the user what updates
// are available if there are multiples, differentiating patches vs. updates, etc.
// In this example, we simply update as suggested by the operation.
ProvisioningJob job = operation.getProvisioningJob(null);
status = job.runModal(sub.newChild(100));//null pointer here
if (status.getSeverity() == IStatus.CANCEL)
throw new OperationCanceledException();
}
return status;
}
}
I am calling this method as follows.
private Integer checkUpdate(final String updateServerURL, final IProvisioningAgent provisioningAgent, ProgressMonitorSplash monitor) {
returnValue = IApplication.EXIT_OK;
final IRunnableWithProgress runnable = new IRunnableWithProgress() {
#Override
public void run(final IProgressMonitor monitor) throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
P2Util.addRepository(provisioningAgent, updateServerURL);
final IStatus updateStatus = P2Util.checkForUpdates(provisioningAgent, monitor);
if (updateStatus.getCode() == UpdateOperation.STATUS_NOTHING_TO_UPDATE) {
logger.debug("No Updates");
} else if (updateStatus.getSeverity() != IStatus.ERROR) {
logger.debug("Updates applied, attempting restart");
returnValue = IApplication.EXIT_RESTART;
} else {
logger.error(updateStatus.getMessage());
}
}
};
try {
monitor.run(true, runnable);
} catch (final InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (final InterruptedException e) {
logger.error("interrupted: " + e.getMessage());
}
return returnValue;
}
where I am creating ProvisingAgent using EclipseContext
final IEclipseContext localContext = EclipseContextFactory.getServiceContext(Activator.getContext());
final IProvisioningAgent provisioningAgent = getService(localContext, IProvisioningAgent.class);
String env = System.getProperty("env").toLowerCase();
String repo = System.getProperty("validUrl." + env);
if ( repo == null ){
repo = System.getProperty("validUrl");
}
if ( repo != null ){
ret = checkUpdate(repo, provisioningAgent, sp);
if ( ret == IApplication.EXIT_RESTART ){
logger.info("Update successful, restarting...");
return ret;
}
}

The javadoc on the UpdateOperation#getProvisioningJob(IProgressMonitor) says:
* #return a job that can be used to perform the provisioning operation. This may be <code>null</code>
* if the operation has not been resolved, or if a plan could not be obtained when attempting to
* resolve. If the job is null and the operation has been resolved, then the resolution result
* will explain the problem.

JSP - Running a program with main method and nested static class

I'm a novice when it comes to JSPs and JAVA.
How do I get the output from the below code to display on a jsp, considering that it runs everything from the main and contains non-public methods, a nested static class etc?
I know that we are not supposed to use java code on jsp but my first step in this proof on concept exercise is to get the code running and returning data from a backend then I can set about using EL etc.
I can run the program, with the correct config settings, from within Eclipse and all works fine with the output appearing on the console but I'm really not sure how to access it from within a jsp.
How do I access the static class and static methods from a jsp if they aren't public?
All help greatly appreciated.

Error in creating new workspace in Eclipse RCP application

Problem in creating a new workspace in an Eclipse RCP application.
When the RCP application is launched, a dialog is prompted to ask the workspace location.
When the location is given, then there is error saying "Could not launch the product because the specified workspace cannot be created.

Try run Eclipse as administrator.

Your code is just calling
if (instanceLoc.isLocked())
{
return false;
}
to check if the workspace is locked, but is doing nothing to make the workspace locked so this will always fall through to the error code.
IDEApplication does this:
if (instanceLoc.lock()) {
writeWorkspaceVersion();
return null;
}
you need to do something similar.

Browser Java Plugin Detection

What is the preferred method to determine if the Sun Java Plugin is installed in the browser?

java deployment toolkit
script src="http://java.com/js/deployJava.js"
if (deployJava.versionCheck('1.6'))
{
alert("1.6 installed")
}

You may also consider PluginDetect script.

This isn't an answer for your exact question but is offered as a solution for determining the browser itself. Don't be too harsh, this is really old code that I wrote some time ago.
import java.applet.*;
public class BrowserDetector extends Applet {
public void init() {
if (isNetscape()) {
System.out.println("This browser is a Netscape Browser.");
}
if (isMicrosoft()) {
System.out.println("This browser is a Microsoft Browser.");
}
System.out.println("VM Type: " + getVMType());
}
public static boolean isNetscape() {
try {
Class.forName("netscape.applet.MozillaAppletContext");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("This browser is not a Netscape Browser.");
return false;
}
return true;
}
public static boolean isMicrosoft() {
try {
Class.forName("com.ms.applet.GenericAppletContext");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("This browser is not a Microsoft Browser.");
return false;
}
return true;
}
public String getVMType() {
String theBrowser = "No VM";
String appletContext = getAppletContext().toString();
if (appletContext.startsWith("sun.applet.AppletViewer"))
theBrowser = "APPLETVIEWER";
else if (appletContext.startsWith("netscape.applet."))
theBrowser = "NETSCAPE";
else if (appletContext.startsWith("com.ms.applet."))
theBrowser = "MICROSOFT";
else if (appletContext.startsWith("sunw.hotjava.tags.TagAppletPanel"))
theBrowser = "HOTJAVA";
else if (appletContext.startsWith( "sun.plugin.navig.win32.AppletPlugin"))
theBrowser = "NETSCAPEPLUGIN";
else if (appletContext.startsWith( "sun.plugin.ocx.ActiveXApplet"))
theBrowser = "MICROSOFTPLUGIN";

theBrowser = "MICROSOFTPLUGINJRE1.4";
return theBrowser;

How can I populate a JFace ContentProposalAdapter from the internet?

So, I'm working on a plugin at work and I've run into a situation where I could use a ContentProposalAdapter to my benefit. Basically, a person will start typing in someone's name and then a list of names matching the current query will be returned in a type-ahead manner (a la Google). So, I created a class IContentProposalProvider which, upon calling it's getProposals() method fires off a thread which handles getting the proposals in the background. The problem I am having is that I run into a race condition, where the processing for getting the proposals via HTTP happens and I try to get the proposals before they have actually been retrieved.
Now, I'm trying not to run into an issue of Thread hell, and that isn't getting me very far anyway. So, here is what I've done so far. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do?
public class ProfilesProposalProvider implements IContentProposalProvider, PropertyChangeListener {
private IContentProposal[] props;
#Override
public IContentProposal[] getProposals(String arg0, int arg1) {
Display display = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell().getDisplay();
RunProfilesJobThread t1 = new RunProfilesJobThread(arg0, display);
t1.run();
return props;
}
#Override
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent arg0) {
if (arg0.getSource() instanceof RunProfilesJobThread){
RunProfilesJobThread thread = (RunProfilesJobThread)arg0.getSource();
props = thread.getProps();
}
}
}
public class RunProfilesJobThread extends Thread {
private ProfileProposal[] props;
private Display display;
private String query;
public RunProfilesJobThread(String query, Display display){
this.query = query;
}
#Override
public void run() {
if (!(query.equals(""))){
GetProfilesJob job = new GetProfilesJob("profiles", query);
job.schedule();
try {
job.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
GetProfilesJobInfoThread thread = new GetProfilesJobInfoThread(job.getResults());
try {
thread.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
props = thread.getProps();
}
}
public ProfileProposal[] getProps(){
return props;
}
}
public class GetProfilesJobInfoThread extends Thread {
private ArrayList<String> names;
private ProfileProposal[] props;
public GetProfilesJobInfoThread(ArrayList<String> names){
this.names = names;
}
#Override
public void run() {
if (names != null){
props = new ProfileProposal[names.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < props.length - 1; i++){
ProfileProposal temp = new ProfileProposal(names.get(i), names.get(i));
props[i] = temp;
}
}
}
public ProfileProposal[] getProps(){
return props;
}
}

Ok, i'll try it...
I haven't tried to run it, but it should work more or less. At least it's a good start. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
