Description Nick Edgar 2004-04-26 13:42:09 EDT

build I20040420 + latest core from head

- run the RCP browser example, which does not require o.e.core.runtime.compatibility
- you get an NPE in Platfrom.getPlugin(String)

This is hit in the changes for bug 58975, however the problem here is that
getPlugin causes an NPE rather than returning null as spec'ed.
