Regardless of JDK or data source (DB2 or Oracle), in ME7 when I try to open the dataset query tab I get a null pointer out of the plugin. I never saw this in ME6. As far as I can tell the other aspects of the dataset dialogs function normally.

Code:

Thank you for bringing this up. I'll file it right away.

Has there been any resolution to this, I am getting the exact same thing whenever I click on the Query option in the Edit Data Set for a report.
Thanks,
Ed

Ed,
This issue was resolved in the 7.1 release. Do you still see the problem in 7.1?

I updated to 7.1 and the issue seems to be fixed.
Thanks

Your welcome.
