Hi

I'm a new user of CDK. It's a great tool and I'm learning a lot. I'm
currently trying to use the aromaticity detection tool, the Aromaticity. In
a test I built a benzene molecule, an instance of the IAtomContainer. This
was successful and I was able to create an image of it in the SVG format.
Then I went on to try to detect aromaticity using the following code
snippet.

Aromaticity a = new Aromaticity(ElectronDonation.cdk(), Cycles.all());
a.apply(molecule);

The aromaticity.apply call throws the following error.

java.lang.NullPointerException: atom has unset atom type
    at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:228)
    at
org.openscience.cdk.aromaticity.AtomTypeModel.contribution(AtomTypeModel.java:112)

I trace the error back to this line of code in AtomTypeModel.java
Objects.requireNonNull(atom.getAtomTypeName(), "atom has unset atom type");

Am I supposed to programmatically set the AtomTypeName? If the answer is
yes, then why so? Is there a simpler way to set the atom type name?

I will greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks
