      JBoss Tools text/xml/html editors will fail to initialize if the user has disabled on-demand hyperlinking in the Eclipse text editor preferences. The user is shown an error message ("Failed to create the part's controls") that when examined in detail is due to a NPE generated when trying to get a collection of hyperlink detectors.
