Bob Fields commented on MCHECKSTYLE-294: ---------------------------------------- Stack trace snippet, occurs in 2.15 and 2.16-SNAPSHOT: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.maven.plugin.checkstyle.exec.DefaultCheckstyleExecutor.configureResourceLocator(DefaultCheckstyleExecutor.java:890) at org.apache.maven.plugin.checkstyle.exec.DefaultCheckstyleExecutor.executeCheckstyle(DefaultCheckstyleExecutor.java:102) at org.apache.maven.plugin.checkstyle.AbstractCheckstyleReport.executeReport(AbstractCheckstyleReport.java:473) at org.apache.maven.plugin.checkstyle.CheckstyleReport.executeReport(CheckstyleReport.java:155) > NPE on missing license artifact, not fixed previously > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCHECKSTYLE-294 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-294 > Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: checkstyle:checkstyle > Affects Versions: 2.15, 2.16 > Environment: Windows7 x64 JDK8 Checkstyle 6.2 maven-checkstyle-plugin > 2.15 and 2.16-SNAPSHOT as of 5/20/2015. > Reporter: Bob Fields > Labels: easyfix, patch > Fix For: 2.16 > > Attachments: MCHECKSTYLE-294.java.patch > > > MCHECKSTYLE-250 fix does not check for null values, only for invalid URL. > This patch checks for null values and fixes the original problem, and emits a > warning if the license file is missing (but does not kill the checkstyle > process or site build). Interestingly - this error only occurs on 'mvn site', > not on 'mvn checkstyle:checkstyle'. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
