Error during Startup event "java.lang.NullPointerException"

[rafaelcba]

Hello.

I'm facing the following issue using Forge:

JBoss Forge, version [ 1.1.1.Final ] - JBoss, by Red Hat, Inc. [ http://jboss.org/forge ]

Error during Startup event

java.lang.NullPointerException

          at java.lang.String.contains(String.java:2076)

          at org.apache.maven.model.building.DefaultModelBuilder.containsCoordinates(DefaultModelBuilder.java:1047)

          at org.apache.maven.model.building.DefaultModelBuilder.importDependencyManagement(DefaultModelBuilder.java:948)

          at org.jboss.forge.maven.facets.MavenCoreFacetImpl.getPartialProjectBuildingResult(MavenCoreFacetImpl.java:86)

My env is:

Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 14:31:09-0300)

Maven home: /Users/rafaeltuelho/java/tools/maven

Java version: 1.7.0_07, vendor: Oracle Corporation

Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_07.jdk/Contents/Home/jre

Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8

OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.7.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

In my first attempt I could start Forge and create a project skeleton. But after try to run forge 'scaffold setup' it seems to broke my Forge installation. I also tried to use Forge with proxy setup [1] and with no proxy (direct internet connection), but not works.

What can be wrong?

Thanks.

This looks like a Proxy issue. See the comments on: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-591

Looks like some other step is required to avoid having this error.

Rafael, did you try adding the system properties http.proxyHost  and http.proxyPort (http.proxyUser and http.proxyPassword as well) to the forge startup script ? Wonder if that helps.

Best regards,

George

Hi George.

After removing my ~/.forge directory and properly configuring the http_proxy env variable forge back to work :-)

to configure proxy on Mac terminal execute:

# export http_proxy=[username]:[password]@your.proxy.hostname:8080

Many thanks.
