I saw this in the debugger (with Java Exception Breakpoint on NPE) after I launched a Debug session first time after upgrading my development environment from 3.4 to 3.5m2 -- I assume that the same NPE could also occur after changing the local configuration:

  * Create SSH connection, drill down below "My Home"
  * Update Manager > Update Eclipse or RSE, choose Restart
 --> During Restart, RSE will try to restore the connection, but since the 
     config has been changed the Adapters are slower to load (race condition).

Here is the backtrace:
Thread [Worker-7] (Suspended (exception NullPointerException))	
	SystemViewPart$RestoreRemoteObjects.doRestore(IProgressMonitor) line: 1581	
	SystemViewPart$RestoreRemoteObjects.run(IProgressMonitor) line: 1516	
	Worker.run() line: 55	

It looks like either a loadAdapter() call is needed here (as per bug 218304), or we need to wait in the RestoreRemoteObjects worker until RSE is fully initialized, before we proceed (similar to bug 233048).

Problem seems minor since the only user-observed consequence is that the connection is not restored properly.
