[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGELOG-38?page=comments#action_67913 ]
Jerome Lacoste commented on MCHANGELOG-38: ------------------------------------------ The id is required for the changelog plugin to work, otherwise it cannot match your SCM id to your name. So I don't think this is critical. The code could be more resistant and throw a user friendly exception instead of a NPE though. > NPE when developer section does not include an id > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCHANGELOG-38 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGELOG-38 > Project: Maven 2.x Changelog Plugin > Type: Bug > Reporter: Baerrach bonDierne > Priority: Critical > > > [DEBUG] Trace > java.lang.NullPointerException > at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:398) > at > org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLog.getUserList(ChangeLog.java:530) > at > org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLog.replaceAuthorIdWithName(ChangeLog.java:541) > at org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLog.doExecute(ChangeLog.java:370) > at > org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLogReport.getChangeLog(ChangeLogReport.java:263) > at > org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLogReport.generateChangeSetsFromSCM(ChangeLogReport.java:218) > at > org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLogReport.getChangedSets(ChangeLogReport.java:198) > at > org.apache.maven.changelog.ChangeLogReport.executeReport(ChangeLogReport.java:173) > at > org.apache.maven.reporting.AbstractMavenReport.generate(AbstractMavenReport.java:117) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.site.ReportDocumentRenderer.renderDocument(ReportDocumentRenderer.java:67) > at > org.apache.maven.doxia.siterenderer.DefaultSiteRenderer.renderModule(DefaultSiteRenderer.java:239) > This is easy to replicate, find a working "mvn site" and then remove an id > from a developer. > This is for plugin > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-changelog-plugin</artifactId> > I'd like to provide version details but this plugin isn't in my repository! > So I am not sure how it is actually working. > The website does't point to a repository, and I accidentally found it at > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/plugins/maven-changelog-plugins > but this code doesn't match up with the error message. > I couldn't find the code base from the the old codehaus repository either. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
