I installed Dev Studio 1.2.0, and tried to import a Project from version 1.1.2.
It failed; loads of compile errors due to not finding headers and a Java null pointer error when I try to just look at the project properties.
Figured this could be because I hadn’t installed the necessary Software Suite Package, so did that - but still the same errors.
Then restarted Dev Studio - and it worked!
Is it expected that a restart is required after adding Software Suite Packages?
Please give more details from the error log about this NPE.
But this should be a known issue: we have indeed (lately ) detected an issue when importing a 1.1.2 project into 1.2.0, if depending packages are not installed. To get out of the issue, you indeed have to install the missing packages and to restart Developer Studio.
Some notes:
problem doesn’t occur when upgrading a DS 1.1.2 install (since packages stay installed after the upgrade)
if you want to keep both 1.1.2 and 1.2.0 installs, you can save disk space by making them pointing to the same location for packages installation
