--------------------------------------------------------
I tested with the latest version you attached.
I no longer have any NPE problems.
I was able to export and reimport my whole repository successfully, even when
DOI contained "::".
To address the last problem, I configured
authority.controlled.dc.contributor.author = true
but despite the documentation says I should, I DIDN'T configure
choices.plugin.dc.contributor.author because I don't want to create a choices
plugin. Authorities are looked up manually when editing the CSV file, I don't
use the sumbission process (and I didn't test it, either). Import/export worked
correctly in my case.
BUT
As I wrote before, when authority.controlled.dc.contributor.author is not set
(which is the default configuration), the import tool says it adds the
authority, but it doesn't actually do it. That's a problem for 2 reasons:
1) what it writes it does is actually not true
2) it's not backwards-compatible with an older dspace.cfg and contribution
guidelines strongly recommend to keep backwards compatibility
Perhaps it would be best if metadata-import first checked the value of
authority.controlled.xyz and if it's not true or not present, it would either:
1) print a warning if you're trying to add authority, or
2) ignore the authority values silently, or
3) bypass the check and add authority anyway (I know it doesn't do any harm, I
tested adding authorities manually without enabling authority.controlled.xyz)
but it really shouldn't write that it added authority when it really didn't.
