Clicking help buttons triggers a NPE. This was from the "platform" menu in 200904111401
1) Open build 200904111401 2) Click Tools -> Java Platforms 3) Click "Help" button in lower right hand corner NPE is triggered on first run. This is on a fresh user directory.
I first saw this issue when clicking the Help > Help Contents menu. A result of this exception is that there is no TOC in the help window.
