I tried to update an existing feature and when I open the feature editor, I got this exception when switching from Overview tag to Information tab.

I am using:
eclipse.buildId=I20101216-1305 (4.1 build)
java.version=1.6.0_23-ea
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=fr_CA
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -console

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument cannot be null

Fixed in HEAD.  Updated javadoc on getURL to remind callers that it can return null.
