JDBC metadata importer gets SWT error - Argument cannot be null

After successfullky importing from a few sources, I went back to try one more. This time, however, I couldn't get the JDBC Importer to work. Here's the sad tale:

Choose File > Import
Select the JDBC metadata importer
Click Next
<wait a long time>
Get next screen, but sources combo box and Next button are disabled.

Somewhere along the way I get an exception like:
Error 2009-04-21 14:59:08.708 Unhandled event loop exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument cannot be null
