I have inherited an old eclipse editor. It is an extension of
AbstractDecoratedTextEditor. Whenever I call the super-class's
createPartControl an error appears in the error log saying there is a null
pointer error in the creation of the QuickDiff action delegates.
When I look at the code in QuickDiffToggleAction, one of the deep next of
calls from createPartControl, I don't see how the code can work. The
initialization of the member variables sets an ITextEditor variable to null,
and then immediately uses it to construct a set of restore actions. It, of
course, takes an exception.
Is there something one is now supposed to configure to not travel this path.
It seems like broken code to me.

The Text and the Java editor use this so it's probably not broken. Look
how it's done there.
