Bug 364370

Description Paul Harmon 2011-11-21 11:24:52 EST

Compile the following:

record BugAnn type annotation {
	targets=[FieldMbr]
}
	value int[]?;
end

library lib1
	field1 string {BugAnn = [1,2,3]};
end


Then attempt to deserialize lib1. You will get a NPE in the XMLDeserializer. This is because InternalEObject.init() does not initialze fields that are defined as nullable. So, when the deserializer attempts to add the value to the field's list, a NPE is thrown, because the field's value is null.

A fix needs to be added to XMLDeserializer so that we instantiate an EList in the case where the field is a nullable array.
