Ernst de Haan commented on ARCHETYPE-423: ----------------------------------------- Workaround that works for me: remove the last file scanned before the NPE. I did this twice and then it finished successfully; both were Javadoc JARs. > archetype:crawl goal fails with NPE > ----------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-423 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-423 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: RHEL 5.8, JDK 1.6.24, Maven 3.0.3 > Reporter: Alexander Zobkov > Attachments: ARCHETYPE-423-archetype-common.patch, maven-debug.txt > > > archetype:crawl goal fails with NPE and does not provide error > details/explanations when during repository scanning process it tries to open > broken artifact.
