Yes, this is not very user friendly.
You should not define an AttributeType if you don't define teh
associated syntax - and we should check that teh attributeType is valid
in the DefaultAttribute constructor -.
do something like :
Attribute attribute = new DefaultAttribute( "mail", "t...@test.com");
That should work.
Feel free to fill a JIRA for the NPE you are facing, we should fix it.
Thanks !
