Using eclipse Mars and Toad for Eclipse 2.2.4.201506161326 - frequent Null Pointer Exception (NPE) in Stored Procedure Editor when no connection. If I launch Eclipse Mars with Toad for Eclipse 2.2.4.201506161326 and open a stored procedure editor while editing the file I get frequent Null Pointer Exceptions. For example just backspacing to delete text pulls up the NPE box (the keyboard operation does happen.) I have found a workaround to this as this doesn't occur if the stored procedure editor has is associated with an open DB connection.
