Error java.lang.NullPointerException

Hello,

Using http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/eclipse//eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2.1-201209141800/eclipse-SDK-4.2.1-win32.zip

Eclipse SDK

Version: 4.2.1
Build id: M20120914-1800

On the welcome screen, clicking for Samples and then either "Multi-page editor", "Java editor", "Property sheet and outline" show a message saying that the samples are not installed. Choosing to download them results in the error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Moving to platform (it's an issue in the SDK).
