JavaRuntime.getDefaultVMInstall() throws a NullPointerException on Mac OS X [message #495006]

I'm developing an RCP application that launches an external Java process. The code that launches the process calls JavaRuntime.getDefaultVMInstall(). On Windows and Linux, there is no problem. When I export the application for Mac OS X, the application starts correctly, but then throws a NullPointerException when I launch the external process. The NPE is thrown by JavaRuntime.getDefaultVMInstall(). Does anybody have any idea why this would happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add the plugin org.eclipse.jdt.launching.macosx to your RCP. This will solve the problem.
