Error description

• When attempting to run QMFWebSphere121.war in CICS Liberty you
  receive the following error in DFHJVMERR file:
  .
  SystemErr R An exception occurred while writing to the platform
  log:
  SystemErr R java.lang.NullPointerException
  SystemErr R  at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.
  EclipseEnvironmentInfo.guessOS(EclipseEnvironmentInfo.java:211)
  .
  The CICS log file reports this message:
  .
  DFHSJ0904 CICSRGN CICSRGN ???? CJSA DFHSJTHP
  Exception 'javax.servlet.ServletException: SRVE0207E: Uncaught
  initialization exception created by servlet' occurred creating
  object reference for class
  com.ibm.cics.server.internal.ThreadJoiner.
  .
  The os.name framework property has not been set to anything. If
  you perform a System.getProperties() this returns 4 values (it
  should contain a lot more!) but certainly does not contain the
  os.name. If you perform a System.getProperty("os.name") this
  returns the correct value.
