Sergey Chernov updated MNG-6626:
--------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> NullPointerException in DefaultExceptionHandler
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6626
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6626
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0, 3.6.0
> Reporter: Sergey Chernov
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: original-exception.txt
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> `DefaulExceptionHandler` classifies errors on goal execution. There is a
> special case when the root cause is `NoClassDefFoundError` with null message,
> it causes NPE with the stacktrace:
> {code}
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at org.apache.maven.exception.DefaultExceptionHandler.getReference
> (DefaultExceptionHandler.java:212)
> at org.apache.maven.exception.DefaultExceptionHandler.getReference
> (DefaultExceptionHandler.java:231)

> {code}
> The problem here is that the real exception is lost and it's even not present
> in debug log mode. The full root exception is attached to the ticket
> (original-exception.txt).
>
> The reason for this defect is trivial: DefaultExceptionHandler.java:212 does
> not have a null check for getMessage
