The constructor PlatformConfiguration(URL) just catches all exceptions with empty catch clause. One obvious exception that can occur is that the URL argument is null. This should be handled better. I usually have an exception breakpoint on NullPointerException and did not expect that it popped up here. The concrete situation was that the code was indirectly called by UpdateHelpManager#createPlatformConfiguration(), which calls the code always with a null URL.

See attached screenshots for the debugger.
