NullPointerException when using a material definition without world parameters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using JME 3.0.0 Beta

To reprocduce, just take a random j3md file and remove the world parameters 
(both an empty block and no block at all have the same result), then try create 
a material, applies it to a mesh and run.

Here's the exception :
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.jme3.material.Technique.loadShader(Technique.java:240)
    at com.jme3.material.Technique.makeCurrent(Technique.java:214)
    at com.jme3.material.Material.selectTechnique(Material.java:885)

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679)

The fact is, the worldBinds List (in the TechniqueDef class) is created when 
the first is added. But nullity isn't checked in Technique.LoadShader
