Hi,
I just downloaded the nightly from 6/13 and I was getting
NullPointerExceptions loading up the plugins. This occurred
only during searches, not during parsing/indexing. I tracked
it down a little and it's occuring in PluginManifestParser.parseLibraries.
The lines of interest are:
NodeList list = library.getElementsByTagName("export");
Element exportElement = (Element) list.item(0);
I found out that if your plugin.xml file has a library tag with
no explicit end tag like:
<library name="nekohtml-0.9.4.jar"/>
The variable "list" is bogus. It's not null, but dereferencing it
causes exception. I didn't track it any further, but I'm guessing
that the problem lies with the XML parser creating a bad node
for these types of tags. Also it seems that you should do a
null check on the "list" variable.
My workaround was to change all the plugin.xml files so
that they use an explicit end tag:
<library name="nekohtml-0.9.4.jar">
</library>
Since no one else has seen this, maybe is a Windows only bug.
It's also possible that somehow I'm picking up a different XML
parsing library, but this wasn't an issue on 0.6 for me.
