If an editor is opened, the editor shows an error screen “Could not open the editor: An unexpected exception was thrown.”.
Using Eclipse 3.7. May be related to the code completion fix?

The thrown exception:

Confirmed that it is caused by r25722, reverting the change made editors work again.

Thanks for reporting. So it works in 4.x but not in 3.x. I’ll investigate.

Fixed.
