This piece of code (in Scala)
val contents = {
assert(mainWindow.detailsPane != null)
new Composite(mainWindow.detailsPane, SWT.NONE)
}
throws an exception:
Exception occurred
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument not valid

According to the documentation, IllegalArgumentException should only be thrown when the parent is null, but I am checking for that. detailsPane is a CTabFolder. Can anybody say why this could happen?
