Added the appropriate checks and error/info messages in commit: http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.server.git/commit/?id=d11c199ed2c49b5c4cc486c535fc24d981e0da52 |
Tasks are persisted in ${OSGi}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.orion.server.core/tasks. When the Orion server starts for the first time, it finds that the tasks folder does not exist and creates the folder. Later in the startup it tries to cleanup the folder. When I make the org.eclipse.orion.server.core unreadable, the Orion server fails to report a problem creating the tasks folder. Then later in the startup there is a huge blowup type NullPointerException when it tries to process the tasks folder that does not exist. Since the NullPointerException is in the core bundles startActivator, the entire server fails to start with a massive list of exceptions. The meat of the exception at the bottom of the stack trace is: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.orion.internal.server.core.tasks.TaskStore.readAllTasks(TaskStore.java:200) at org.eclipse.orion.internal.server.core.tasks.TaskService.cleanUpTasks(TaskService.java:78) at org.eclipse.orion.internal.server.core.tasks.TaskService.<init>(TaskService.java:73) at org.eclipse.orion.internal.server.core.Activator.registerServices(Activator.java:184) at org.eclipse.orion.internal.server.core.Activator.start(Activator.java:166) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.BundleContextImpl$3.run(BundleContextImpl.java:771) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.BundleContextImpl$3.run(BundleContextImpl.java:1) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:456) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:764) ... 100 more
