[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] NullPointerException in org.eclipse.equinox.

[Edoardo Comar <ecomar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I went through all the hoops of JavaWebStart-ing a simple RCP 
application - which I managed to start succesfully
(main problems were the wrong main class name in the help, and the 
inclusion of references to win32.wpf jars in the generated JNLP files ...).

As I moved on to the webstarting my real large RCP app I am encountering 
 an NPE (see trace below)

This happens targeting both the 3.3.1.1 SDK and the 3.3.2 SDK (and their 
deltas) and with either the sun 5 update 10 or the ibm 5 SR7 jdks.

googling yelds one old discussion with no solution

Any ideas ?
