Mikolaj Izdebski commented on MPLUGIN-242:
------------------------------------------
IIRC some project was providing a copy of empty standard Java classes as a way
of ensuring compatibility with older JDKs. You can probably rename
java.lang.Object to something else, but IMHO this would be only more confusing.
> NullPointerException in MojoClassVisitor.visit()

> Annotation scanner in maven-plugin-tools-annotations assumes that all Java
> classes have superclass. This is mostly true, but there is one exception -
> java.lang.Object.
> If annotation scanner encounters a class with no super class (like
> java.lang.Object) it fails with NullPointerException in
> MojoClassVisitor.visit().
> Unit test reproducing the bug and proposed fix attached.
