Summary: NPE - Error rendering velocity resource Key: MRRESOURCES-101 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRRESOURCES-101 Project: Maven Remote Resources Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.5 Reporter: Daniel Klessing Attachments: mrresources_npe.diff We noticed that occasionally the maven-remote-resources-plugin kills our build as a NPE with the message "Error rendering velocity resource" happend. Luckily I succeeded today in getting a stacktrace of the issue: {code} [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-remote-resources-plugin:1.5:process (default) on project parent: Error rendering velocity resource.

By replacing it with a call to IOUtils.close() the problem is gone. See the attached patch/diff. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
