What does this exception mean? [message #157122]

Getting this exception when I try to draw a graph of figures using a
custom layout manager.

Any idea where to start looking to find out where the error is? It
occurs during this step - "while (!display.readAndDispatch())" in my
tester method, and during an EditPart.refresh() call in GEF.

Exception in thread "main" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to
execute runnable (java.lang.NullPointerException)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2691)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2616)

yes, try looking in test.Tester 'main' method line 62.

That seems like a wrapper exception. Find the stack trace for the NPE that
got wrapped and you'll know the problem. If you overrode any of the
refresh*() methods in your EditPart, you might have introduced a NPE
somewhere there.

An alternative is to set a breakpoint for NPE while running your code.
