Marcel Reutegger commented on OAK-8948:
---------------------------------------
I suggest to fix it like this: [^OAK-8948.patch]. This means your application
would still face an exception when it tries to register a listener, but it
would be more descriptive what is wrong.

> While registering a resource change listener, we encountered the following

> On further debugging, we found that issues lies in this snippet :
> {code:java}
> if (exclude.equals(include) || isAncestor(exclude, include)) {
> includesRemoved.add(include);{code}
> 'exclude' can be null if the getOakPath() method returns a null. This NPE
> causes listeners(ResourceChangeListener in our case) to fail at registration.
