Description Matthew Hall CLA 2009-10-14 19:08:35 EDT 
While executing Export -> Product I get an NPE error partway through the Linux platform export.

In my .product file there are launcher icons supplied for Windows but not for Linux.  Removing all windows launcher icons from .product eliminated the NPE during export.

Comment 1 Matthew Hall CLA 2009-10-14 19:18:35 EDT 
Upgrading to critical importance.  This has stalled my ability to create builds for over a week now, until I found the workaround of removing branding images just today.
Comment 2 Andrew Niefer CLA 2009-10-20 16:36:24 EDT 
fixed
Comment 3 Jonathan Blakes CLA 2011-06-28 08:11:51 EDT 
Today I have observed the same error - corrected by the same solution - using Eclipse Indigo.
