Bug 330030

Description Pascal Rapicault 2010-11-11 13:14:42 EST

I propose we backport this bug to 3.6.x.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #323149 +++

Build Identifier: 3.6.0 I20100608-0911

    I'm following the Product based build for our RCP application. The build creates a local repository in the build directory in my local system. Once the build is successful, I copy the P2 repository to a remote URL (http). 

    The application is pointing to the remote URL. Now when I start my application, I'm getting NullPointer Exception at RepositoryTransport.download(RepositoryTransport.java:75). If I connect to the local repository (in build directory), it works fine. The following is the exception that I'm getting,
