> Key: SCM-338

> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-provider-vss
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Windows XP, JRE 1.4.2
> Reporter: Allan Lang
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: SCM-338-maven-scm-provider-vss.patch, vssproviderbug.zip

>
> NullPointerException occurs with any SCM operation when there is no
> ~/.scm/vss-settings.xml file, and when the vssDirectory system property is
> set:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

> This error is easily replicated using the attached project
> vssproviderbug.zip. Unzip the archive and run
> {code}
> mvn scm:changelog -DvssDirectory=something -e
> {code}
> Assuming the file ~/.scm/vss-settings.xml does not exist, you should see the
> above error in the stack traces. Note that you don't need VSS installed (or
> even to be on Windows) in order to replicate the error - Maven doesn't
> actually get as far as making a call to ss.exe.
