Description DJ Houghton

In the nightly build the past couple of days there have been a lot of test failures (70-90) on all platforms. NPEs (somewhere in the XML files) and PermGen errors included. 

This is strange because nothing has been released to HEAD for a while and also the contents of HEAD match the contents released into the latest I-Builds (which aren't failing). 

I talked to Kim and there doesn't seem to be any related changes on the build machine lately.

Test failures are caused by the compiler problem bug 325755.

The stack trace causing all the failures is 

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.FilterImpl$Parser.<init>(FilterImpl.java:1373)
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.FilterImpl.newInstance(FilterImpl.java:142)
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.createFilter(BundleContextImpl.java:915)
at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.BundleHelper.createFilter(BundleHelper.java:123)
at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.BundleHelper.getFilter(BundleHelper.java:165)

This is not posssible, BundleHelper#getFilter line 165 has a null check.
