Description Ilkka Priha CLA 2004-01-05 07:36:57 EST 
The Class.getPackage() method called from within Eclipse 3.0 M6 plugins seems to
return always null. This is a problem if package names are applied e.g. as
prefixes to properties (workaround is to parse the package name from the class
name, but it can't be applied to third party libraries that throw now
NullPointerExceptions when executed under M6 if they rely on available package
names).
