Ernst Reissner created MPLUGIN-476:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Cannot invoke
"com.thoughtworks.qdox.model.JavaField.getName()" because "field" is null
Key: MPLUGIN-476
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-476
Project: Maven Plugin Tools
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Plugin Plugin
Affects Versions: 3.9.0
Reporter: Ernst Reissner
I write a plugin (https://github.com/Reissner/latex-maven-plugin)
and `mvn clean deploy` results in following message:
```
[INFO] --- plugin:3.9.0:descriptor (default-descriptor) @ latex-maven-plugin ---

```
After long search (1 night) I found the following 'reason':
```
package eu.simuline.m2latex.core;
public enum Target {
txt() {
private final String TXT_OUTPUT_FILES = "^T$T\\.txt$";
// may throw BuildFailureException TEX01
public void processSource(LatexProcessor latexProcessor,
LatexMainDesc desc) throws
BuildFailureException {
latexProcessor.processLatex2txt(desc);
}
public String getPatternOutputFiles(Settings settings) {
return "^T$T\\.txt$";
}
}, ...;
...
}
```
Removing the line
```
private final String TXT_OUTPUT_FILES = "^T$T\\.txt$";
```
'resolves' the problem.
I feel this could indicate not just a bug but a conceptual flaw.
