Description Philippe Coucaud CLA 2011-03-14 05:24:25 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20110310-1119 (3.7M5)

Editing a feature.xml file without a license section triggers a NPE (might be related to bug 333788).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a valid feature.xml (e.g. default one generated when creating a new feature project)
2. Remove the <license></license> section
3. Save, close the editor and open the feature.xml file again. 
4. Switch to the Information tab: NPE is thrown (stack trace to be attached)

Comment 2 Curtis Windatt CLA 2011-03-15 12:24:21 EDT 
Fixed in HEAD.  Added better error checking the UI, an index out of bounds check in the feature implementation and improved all the javadoc.  Tested some of the other sections on the information page and nothing threw any exceptions.
