Sorry abt the previous comment. I'm getting an NPE at a different location, not at the extensions. > Versionless Extension causes NullPointerException in release:prepare > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-122 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-122 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4 > Reporter: Stefan Hübner > Attachments: patch.txt > > > I'm getting a NullPointerException when invoking "mvn release:prepare > -DdryRun=true" (don't know, if the dryRun-parameter makes any > difference). See the stack trace below. > My POM does make use of the wagon-ssh-extension, but without declaring a > certain version of that extension - which is not necessary, as far as I know. > A workaround to this is to declare a version to the extension. > See this mail thread for a discussion on this issue: > <http://www.nabble.com/NullPointerException+in+Release+Plugin+2.0-beta-4-t1637385.html#a4434481> > Stefan > ava.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.phase.AbstractRewritePomsPhase.updateDomVersion(AbstractRewritePomsPhase.java:388) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.phase.AbstractRewritePomsPhase.rewriteExtensions(AbstractRewritePomsPhase.java:352) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.phase.AbstractRewritePomsPhase.transformDocument(AbstractRewritePomsPhase.java:230) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.phase.AbstractRewritePomsPhase.transformProject(AbstractRewritePomsPhase.java:165) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.phase.AbstractRewritePomsPhase.transform(AbstractRewritePomsPhase.java:102) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.phase.AbstractRewritePomsPhase.simulate(AbstractRewritePomsPhase.java:529) > at > org.apache.maven.plugins.release.DefaultReleaseManager.prepare(DefaultReleaseManager.java:135) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
