Code caused NullPointer error in XMLConfiguration
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CONFIGURATION-431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-431
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.6
            Reporter: gentboy
            Priority: Critical


In class XMLConfiguration there is a code structure like below:
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                new B();
        }

        static abstract class A {
                A(){
                        print();
                }
                abstract void print();
        }
        
        static class B extends A{
                String s = new String("asdf");
                B(){
                        super();
                }
                
                void print(){
                        System.out.println(s);
                }
        }

While in B.print the field s is actually not initialized because it is called 
from the super() method.
In XMLConfiguration the not properly initialized field is registeredEntities, 
which will defenitly cause nullpointer in some case.
