Error description

• HATS 7.5.0.1 on Rational Software Delivery Platform (RSDP) 7.5.
  .
  In the widget settings window for many HATS widgets, one or more
  fields related to style and attribute settings have a button
  associated with them that should launch a Set Style Properties
  window that allows customization of Font, Layout, Position, etc.
  for that field.  However, when pressing the button to launch the
   window, nothing happens on screen.  If the user checks the .log
  file under the .metadata folder in their workspace, they will
  see an entry that starts with information similar to this:
  !ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2009-05-26 16:19:17.531
  !MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
  !STACK 0

Local fix

• Installing Struts tooling into the RSDP environment resolves the
   problems and allows the Set Style Properties window to appear.

  The class the HATS Toolkit uses to interact with the Style
  properties object was not found.
  

Problem conclusion

• The class the HATS Toolkit used to interact with the
  CSSPropertyContext object is a utility class contained
  in a Struts package.  If Struts is not installed (or not
  installed in the project) then this class can not be
  found.  In order to remove the dependency on Struts,
  the HATS Toolkit now contains its own utility class
  to deal with the CSSPropertyContext object.
