Bug 78179 [Progress] ProgressManager's 'subTask' throws NPE on null string
Reported: 2004-11-09 11:21:16 | Status: verified fixed

Most progress monitors work correctly when 'subTask' is called with an empty string EXCEPT for 'org.eclipse.ui.internal.progress.ProgressManager' which blindly does: if (name.length() == 0) return; instead of... if (name != null && name.length() == 0) return;
