Build Identifier: 

If the update descriptor is missing the severity attribute a NumberFormatException is thrown (as bellow). This is very confusing and hard to track as the error message does not says anything about the cause.

I'm using the p2 installer: equinox.p2.installer-3.5.2RC3-macosx.carbon.ppc
