Description Jonathan West CLA 2007-07-19 13:23:01 EDT 
1. Start Eclipse and create a new workspace.
2. Move to Preferences->Agent Controller->Security Certificate. Click Apply. Close window. Close eclipse.
3. Open the workspace directory, and replace .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.platform.common.ui\keystore.dat with a zero byte file. 
4. Reopen eclipse with the workspace. Select Preferences->Agent Controller->Security Certificate.

An error message dialog pops up, 'Error Message: IWAT0108E Failed to load key store' along with additional text and an EOF exception. Same error message also pops up under the profiling dialog when attempting to use security. I've attached the screenshot of the full error message. This defect occurs in real world use as at times Eclipse has created this zero-byte keystore file in my workspace on its own. 

Using 4.4.0.1 release and IBM Java 1.5.
