             Summary: NullPointerException if no Package is defined for the 
current class
                 Key: MRESOLVER-94
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-94
             Project: Maven Resolver
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: resolver
    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
         Environment: Windows 10, Java 8, custom classloading
            Reporter: Bence Sipka


When the maven-resolver and related classes are used with a {{ClassLoader}} 
that doesn't define a java.lang.Package object for the loaded classes, the 
library throws a {{NullPointerException}}.

Scenario: I'm using the maven-resolver classes to resolver artifacts from 
various repositories. I package the app, and deploy it to a custom environment 
where the {{ClassLoader}} for the app doesn't define a {{Package}} for the 
loaded classes. In these cases, when the maven-resolver library calls 
{{this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion()}} then a 
{{NullPointerException}} will occurr.

 The following classes are affected:
 {{DefaultSuperPomProvider.getSuperModel():81}}
 {{DefaultReportingConverter.<init>:56}}

Code around the locations:
{code:java}
String modelId = "org.apache.maven:maven-model-builder:"
    + this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion() + ":super-pom";
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource();
inputSource.setModelId( modelId );
{code}
This exception makes the library unportable to different environments.

Workaround:

Implement a custom variant of the above classes that circument these parts of 
the code.

Possible solution:

Null checks, and hard coding the version number.
