Description Heiko W. Rupp 2012-01-23 10:18:38 UTC 
snert:/im/rhq/modules/enterprise/agent/target/rhq-agent hrupp$ bin/standalone.sh 
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8788

Starting the plugin container.
Loading plugins
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

While this may be an issue how the Drift stuff is initialized by the standalone PC, this may also occur in plugin unit tests, where the plugin writer decided to fire a plugin-container for testing.

changesetDir.listFiles() returns null. Javadoc says:

" Returns null if this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, or if an I/O error occurs."

A patch that works for me is attached.

Comment 6 Heiko W. Rupp 2013-09-01 19:22:48 UTC 
Bulk closing of BZs that have no target version set, but which are ON_QA for more than a year and thus are in production for a long time.
