Build Identifier: 

The call of org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin.getBundle().log(IStatus) produce an NPE when called before the creation of the WorkbenchAdvisor.
The cause is that org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.getInstance().getAdvisor().getWorkbenchErrorHandler().handle() is indirectly called and Workbench.getInstance() returns null (see stacktrace under). Precision : at the start of the OSGi platform the logging was possible without NPE from the start() methods of the plugins.

In my case the workaround is to create the WorkbenchAdvisor first.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Call 'org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin.getBundle().log(IStatus)' as first instruction in the methods createUI() of the EntryPoint. #
I didn't try with an Application.
