i'm trying on the tutorial at http://tools.osmosis.gr/blog/archives/2005/03/birt_rcp_viewer_1.html

i have a openReportEditor method as shown below:

private void openReportEditor() {

        serverUrlText.setText("[URL="http://127.0.0.1/"][COLOR=#0000ff]http://127.0.0.1[/COLOR][/URL]:8181/birt/");
String uri = serverUrlText.getText();

        ReportEditorInput input = new ReportEditorInput();
        input.setUri(uri);

        OpenNewBrowserAction action = new OpenNewBrowserAction(input);
        action.run();}

when i have created a button and i would like to call the openReportEditor. i did it in this way,

button2.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
openReportEditor();
     }

but the exception of ' java.lang.NullPointerException' is caught.
how to fix it?? thanks.

Trace the problem. Find out which object is null then find out where or why its not being initialized

the stack trace caught exception:

(1)  button2.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener() {
                        public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
                            openReportEditor();
                        }

(2) private void openReportEditor(){

        serverUrlText.setText("http://127.0.0.1:8181/birt/");
        String uri = serverUrlText.getText();

        ReportEditorInput input = new ReportEditorInput();
        input.setUri(uri);

        OpenNewBrowserAction action = new   
        OpenNewBrowserAction(input);
        action.run();
