Description Carl Wicklow

Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

When exporting one specific feature (org.eclipse.epp.package.common.feature_1.4.1.20110816-1927) the eclipse.jnlpGenerator ANT tasks fails with an Null Pointer Exception.

Assembly ANT script and stack traces will be attached shortly.

Speculating, I'd suggest it's due to the feature being a wrapper feature that contains no plugins. It only requires other features. 

Workaround is to add a plugin to it's feature.xml (I just added a plugin that's also included in one of it's requires features).

Thanks !


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import the org.eclipse.epp.package.common.feature feature into your workspace
2. Export it as a Deployable feature (Options - "Package as Individual Jars" ON ; "Generate MDR" OFF ; No JAR signing ; Java WebStart ON)
3. Click finish.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
