I'm following the instructions at
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.u ser/tasks/pde_product_build.htm
to build an set up an automated build for an RCP application. The build
doesn't get far, but terminates with a NullPointerException:

[java] Executing 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_17\jre\bin\java.exe'

[java] '-classpath'

When run with -verbose, this is where the exception appears to be thrown:

[java] java.lang.NullPointerException

Any idea what could be going wrong here?
