[geotk] CSW client : unmarshalling issue

[Damiano ALBANI]

Hello,

I've stumbled upon another issue with marshalling, regarding the 
"extent" property of a metadata.
My source code is on <http://pastebin.com/VkM76VSm>.
The exception that is thrown is :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

org.geotoolkit.metadata.iso.extent.DefaultExtent.<clinit>(DefaultExtent.java:59)
     ... 38 more

Basically, in the DefaultExtend class, the "static { }" initializer 
fails due to the "geographicElements" collection being a null object.

I suppose this is a bug?

Regards,
