Thanks for taking the time to report that problem. My *guess*[1] is that, like many Debian users, despite the fact that you have installed Sun Java, you are trying to run XXE using a Java runtime other than Sun's. The full stack trace should be something like: --- java.lang.NullPointerException at com.xmlmind.xmledit.util.FileUtil.fileToURL(java.io.File) (Unknown Source) at com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.start.Start.doScanAddonDir(java.io.File, java.util.ArrayList) (Unknown Source) at com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.start.Start.doScanAddonDir(java.io.File, java.util.ArrayList) (Unknown Source) at com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.start.Start.scanAddonDir(java.io.File) (Unknown Source) at com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.start.Start.start(java.lang.String, java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source) at com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.start.Start.main(java.lang.String[]) (Unknown Source) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.call_main() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) [Loaded (pre-compiled) gnu.gcj.runtime.FileDeleter from <no code source>] --- See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/user_faq.html#xxe_on_debian --- [1] If this is not the case, it is probably a simple bug in XXE triggered by your working environment.
