A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I receive the following exception when running on JDK 7 on OS X. JDK 7 on Windows or Linux works, as does JDK 6 on OS X.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.Collections.addAll(Collections.java:3836)
at sun.security.ssl.AbstractTrustManagerWrapper.<init>(SSLContextImpl.java:778)
at sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl.chooseTrustManager(SSLContextImpl.java:133)
at sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl.engineInit(SSLContextImpl.java:89)
at javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.init(SSLContext.java:283)

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u29

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
We encounter the issue while running the example code attached
 


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should not throw an exception
ACTUAL -
throws NPE

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
