I downloaded the WOLips source tonight to look for why absent WOD files cause NPEs and scanned it for likely places, but this is not code I've ever looked at before and it feels like needle-in-haystack time! I also scanned the code commit messages to see if I could find where this behavior might have changed between 3.7 and 4.4 ..

I don’t think it is a change to WOLips, I think it is a change to how Eclipse presents the UI where older versions would still have some object that represents the nonexistent WOD file, newer versions of Eclipse don’t create that object, thus the NPE where it is assumed that object will always exist. So, yeah, I just described an NPE and in no way actually helped find it. Eclipse plugin development is completely different way of writing Java apps than WO. We’re all fish out of water here - except for me, I’m more of a paramecium out of ooze.

I don't much want to create nearly a hundred empty WOD files just so I can use the component editor with WOLips 4.4 (nor do I much want to return to 3.7), but I don't want to be a whining complainer either .. if fixing this isn't seen as important, I'll create the empty WOD files and move on.

I’d suggest creating the .wod files and tell Git to ignore them for now until you, or someone else, can track down the bug. I’m sure you could easily create them all with some form of terminal touch magic…
