Description cyparu CLA 2011-06-24 06:06:19 EDT 
Build Identifier: R-3.7-201106131736 (equinox-p2-adminui)

Trying to play with the Equinox administrator UI so I downloaded the last version (equinox-p2-adminui-3.7-win32.zip) from Equinox Indigo/3.7 [under p2 Provisioning Tools]: http://download.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/R-3.7-201106131736/index.php. 

When launching the app, the "Profiles" view can't open due to a NPE exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.ui.admin.ProfilesView.addListeners(ProfilesView.java:85)

	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ViewReference.createPart(ViewReference.java:229)
