 	at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:686)
 	at org.eclipse.equinox.metatype.LocalizationElement.getLocalized(LocalizationElement.java:38)
 	at org.eclipse.equinox.metatype.AttributeDefinitionImpl.getDescription(AttributeDefinitionImpl.java:117)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create metatype.xml where name or description attributes are empty string. For example:

<AD id="present" description="" type="Boolean" default="true" />
