Troubleshooting
Problem
After upgrading to IBM Engineering Workflow Management 7.0.2 or 7.0.3, when reviewing work items, the Eclipse client will error with a java.lang.NullPointerException.
The window appears randomly when viewing work items, but does not affect the editing or saving of the work item.
This is an example of a work item. Notice the type is a query.

Symptom
In the workspace .log file, this exception is repeated:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.workbench 4 2 2025-02-03 13:15:37.427
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.ui.workbench".
