Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Hello World plugin example
2. Add following code in the action run(IAction action) and import the required packages

		try {
			Platform.getAuthorizationInfo(new URL("http://www.ibm.com"), "r", "a");
		} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

3. Run the Hello world plugin with following argument
    -keyring abc.kr 

4. Execute the action
5. NPE will be shown in the Console view
