ASSERT: have a server adapter defined that has no code nor plugin.xml in current Eclipse 1) have topic branch https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-openshift/pull/1371 - minishift server adapter PR - checked out. Create an adapter for it. 2) switch back to master branch and restart runtime IDE -> runtime IDE still has the minishift server adapter, but the code and definitions for it (plugin.xml) dont exist. Similar effect should be achievable if you have ex tomcat plugin installed, create a server adapter for it and uninstall the plugin) ASSERT: have a service running in OpenShift EXEC: in OpenShift Explorer: select service and pick "Server adapter" in the context menu Result: Nothing happens, the wizard for the OpenShift server adapter wont show up. In the Eclipse log you'll spot the following stack trace: org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.NullPointerException at
