Hello,
I have an error with the class org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform. When I
execute the instruction:
IExtensionRegistry registry = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
registry is null.

is there something I missed ?

It is documented when the result could be null:

"Note this method is purely a convenience and {@link
RegistryFactory#getRegistry()} should generally be used instead."

Checking RegistryFactory#getRegistry() we find:

"Returns the default extension registry specified by the registry provider.
May return <code>null</code> if the provider has not been set or if the
registry has not been created."

If you use Eclipse 4 you could use @Inject IExtensionRegistry factory to get the IExtensionRegistry object.
