Package: ant
Version: 1.6.5-3
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental
Using libgcj7 4.1-0exp4 (experimental) I experience a
NullPointerException when running the following rule:
<xslt
style="src/soot/options/phase_options_dialog.xsl"
in="src/soot/options/soot_options.xml"
out="eclipse/ca.mcgill.sable.soot/src/ca/mcgill/sable/soot/ui/PhaseOptionsDialog.java"
/>
The interesting part of the exception is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at gnu.xml.transform.ApplyTemplatesNode.clone (libgcj.so.7)
at gnu.xml.transform.LiteralNode.clone (libgcj.so.7)
at gnu.xml.transform.Template.clone (libgcj.so.7)
at gnu.xml.transform.Stylesheet.clone (libgcj.so.7)
at gnu.xml.transform.TemplatesImpl.newTransformer (libgcj.so.7)
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.TraXLiaison.createTransformer
(TraXLiaison.java:228)
where TraXLiaison.java:228 is the following line of code:
transformer = templates.newTransformer();
I've written a simple testcase based on TraXLiaison.java to test
whether the problem is in libgcj7, but for me it worked fine.
Because this involved experimental packages, reproducing the problem
is not entirely trivial. I've attached a full ant.log generated:
$ ant --execdebug -l ant.log -v -d eclipse-plugin
exec "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1-1.4.2.0//bin/java" -classpath
"/usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar"
-Dant.home="/usr/share/ant" -Dant.library.dir="/usr/share/ant/lib"
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -cp
"/home/nicholas/sable/soot/polyglot/trunk/lib/polyglot.jar:/home/nicholas/sable/soot/polyglot/trunk/lib/java_cup.jar:/home/nicholas/sable/soot/jasmin/trunk/lib/jasminclasses-2.1.1.jar:."
"-l" "ant.log" "-v" "-d" "eclipse-plugin"
except that because "java-1.4.2-gcj-4.1.../bin/java" is in a custom
package, you'll need to replace it with "gij-wrapper-4.1" which works
just as well and produces the same output.
I'm using libgcj7 because it's the first release after the classpath
0.19 merge. Earlier versions don't have the gnu.xml.transform.Stylesheet
class causing a failure much earlier.
Thanks,
