I'm using Eclipse Neon from the release date. Yesterday I got some strange errors in Eclipse and after a reboot of the Eclipse instance everything was gone. I installed Eclipse and my plugins again. Everything is working again but when I launch the Java debugger on one of my project I got the error:
An internal error occurred during: "XXXX".
java.lang.NullPointerException
This error occurs on debugging all my projects also in another workspace. Can someone help me with this? The error is not explaining what the exact problem is.
In the logfile of Eclipse I can found the follow error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

I fully removed my previous Eclipse environment. Settings included. Installed Eclipse environment from a clean install and installed all my plugins again. The problem was fixed.
