Funny Eclipse Error Message

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

So, today I was working with Eclipse, everyone’s favourite IDE, and it randomly popped up with a little alert window that said:

‘Processing Dirty Regions’ has encountered a problem.
An internal error occurred during: “Processing Dirty Regions”.
java.lang.NullPointerException

I’m not sure I want to know what Eclipse’s “dirty regions” are, why it was ‘processing’ them, or why it failed.
