java.lang.NullPointerException (EclipsePlugin.isAvailableAsAWorkspaceProject) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-643 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-643 Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: Core : Workspace settings Affects Versions: 2.7 Environment: C:\Documents and Settings\catalrc\WorkspaceXYZ\FlexGN>mvn -v Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 15:16:01-0400) Java version: 1.6.0_16 Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" Reporter: Ricardo Catalfo Priority: Minor I found an issue when executing mvn eclipse:eclipse on my workspace. Below is the stack trace and the reason of it: [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'eclipse'.

However, I detected that another project in the same workspace had the following pom.xml: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> </project> I don't know how I got this file, I guess because we are migrating our projects to Maven. Solution / Workaround: The "NullPointerException...isAvailableAsAWorkspaceProject" issue with the plugin is gone when you complete the minimal POM configuration (it also works when you delete or rename the file). However, I don't see why an invalid pom.xml in a particular project has to prevent me on executing this plugin in ANY PROJECT of the same workspace.
