WSO2 Developer Studio doesn't show ESB flows

Question

Having WSO2 Developer Studio (Eclipse Mars + ESB 5.0.0 Tooling + BPS 3.6.0 Tooling) it seems to be working nicely, but after certain time (actions ? update?) the ESB sequence or proxy diagrams are not shown with exception.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Even reinstalling the tool and plugins doesn't help, it looks like something with the project settings. Unfortunately I am only an eclipse user and I don't know what information could I provider to get any help.

Recreating projects would be troublesome as the development is certain stadium. However - the DEV studio can be still used for BPS (BPEL) and building the composite apps.

Answer 1

I've also got this same error using Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio when I try to open any WSO2 project diagram in JBoss perspective.

I guess in the others eclipse distributions could happen the same issue, but the solution could be the same.

---

In my case I've just solved this way

1. Closing all WSO2 diagrams files.
2. Changing the perspective to Java EE pespective or Java perspective. Furthermore, I recommend the Java EE perspective to work with WSO2.

3. Then reopen the respectives WSO2 diagrams files.

Lastly to be sure to update WSO2 Developer Studio packages. This can be done either in Developer Studio or Check for Updates menu.
