[kepler-users] No menu bar in Kepler 1.x

[Tomasz Żok]

Dear Kepler users and maintainers,

Today I tried to install Kepler from trunk using this instruction:
https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/documentation/build-system-instructions

I prepared everything and compiled Kepler, but when I try to run it, in the beginning I get the following exception and the menu bar in Kepler is missing:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Before this exception I received another one from SQL. I am not sure if these two are related anyhow, but I will paste the second one as well in case it's needed:

I have also tested it after deleting my $HOME/.kepler directory so that it doesn't mix files from different installations. But it didn't help me any further.
Can you provide me with some information about possible causes of such behaviour?
