Problem Description: Eclipse 3.1M1 displays the following error message when 
attempt to import preference files (*.epf) on the Solaris 9.0 and HP-UX 11i 
platforms:

“Update installed JREs (Error: An internal error occured during: "update 
Installed JREs".)”

You may complete the following steps in order to reproduce this scenario:
1. Configure various options (non-default values) in the various Preferences 
pages of the Preferences dialog (Window > Preferences).  
2. Export the 'Preferences' options via the 'Export' button on the bottom of 
the Preferences dialog.  Specify where you want the exported preferences file 
to go in the file selection dialog.
3. In the Preferences dialog, select the 'Import' button on the bottom of the 
dialog.  In the file selection dialog, select the exported Preferences file 
(file with '.epf' extension) in step1.

Expected Behavior: After selecting the '.epf' preferences file and importing 
it, a dialog displayed informing that the Preferences were imported.  The 
current preference settings in the Preferences dialog pages are set to the 
values specified in the exported preferences file. 
Actual Behavior: The following error message is displayed instead. 
“Update installed JREs (Error: An internal error occured during: "update 
Installed JREs".)”

In addition, a java.lang.IllegalStateException is thrown in the log file 
during this process. Please refer to the attached log file for more 
information.
