When trying to install a bundle via prov command (ProvCommandProvider), NullPointerException is produced. The reason is lack of registered profiles but the command expects at least 1 profile. When there's no profile, command returns null for IStatus. This seems unexpected by ProvCommandProvider - it shows to the end user the exception instead of some meaningful message what went wrong.

Here is the code that causes the exception:
...
IStatus s = ProvisioningHelper.install(agent, iu, version, ProvisioningHelper.getProfile(agent, profileId), new NullProgressMonitor());
...
if (s.isOK())
...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download and unzip Equinox (http://download.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/N20100512-2000/index.php)
2.Start it in root folder (equinox) using 
java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.N20100512-2000.jar -configuration configuration –console
3.Setup dropins folder in config.ini:
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=dropins
4.Describe all plugins (and start them) in 
Equinox/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
5.Execute the command
