[5.0] preRegister npe

[Keith Wannamaker <Ke...@Apache.org>]

StandardContext.start throws a (caught) npe for every web application 
unless preRegister has been called on the context (line 4151).  This is 
pretty annoying in Eclipse because it automatically stops on all npes.

For me, preRegister is always called AFTER start, so this stanza always 
npes.  Anyone help on what needs to be done to reverse the order of 
these calls?  If not any opposition to something like--

I have to think I'm doing something wrong but I'm not sure what.
This patch sure does seem to help things.

Thanks for any input,
Keith
