Hi,

I'm sending the exceptions of my plugin to the Error Log. This is an example built from the "Hello World" sample puging project:

	@SuppressWarnings("null")
	public void run(IAction action) {
		MessageDialog.openInformation(
			window.getShell(),
			"Test",
			"Hello, Eclipse world");
		
		Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle(Platform.PI_RUNTIME);
		ILog log = Platform.getLog(bundle);
		Object o = null;
		try {
			o.equals("sk");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			log.log(new Status(Status.ERROR, "MyPI", "test", e));
		}
		
	}

Everything works fine, but the exception keeps showing up in the Eclipse console:

!ENTRY MyPI 4 0 2011-11-11 15:36:23.116
!MESSAGE test
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at test.actions.SampleAction.run(SampleAction.java:50)
	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PluginAction.runWithEvent(PluginAction.java:251)
        ...

I was hoping to not see the exception written in the console anymore.

Is this how it is supposed to work or I am doing something wrong?

Thanks!
