Exception StackTrace: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.redhat.installer.action.PasswordHelper.executeAction(PasswordHelper.java:19) at com.izforge.izpack.installer.IzPanel.executePostValidationActions(IzPanel.java:1409) at com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallerFrame.navigateNext(InstallerFrame.java:1651) at com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallerFrame.navigateNext(InstallerFrame.java:1635) at com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallerFrame$NavigationHandler.navigate(InstallerFrame.java:1798) at com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallerFrame$NavigationHandler.access$100(InstallerFrame.java:1765) at com.izforge.izpack.installer.InstallerFrame$NavigationHandler$1.run(InstallerFrame.java:1782) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724)
NPE is thrown on almost all Error/Warning Dialogs.
This is due to an izpack bug causing panel actions to run even if validation for the given field has failed. Looking at the code, these NPEs shouldn't be causing any adverse effects on the installation functionality itself. The display of NPEs is fixed in c28adf893a2be7937cd047022ca152ba06228f14.
