Description David Williams CLA 2010-05-18 12:39:06 EDT 
During some quick fix editing, I accidentally left in a 
<features href="jetty.build#//@features.2"/>
instead of commenting it out, and should have been commented out, 
since the jetty 'contribution' had been commented out, of helios.build file. 

When I tried to run, I simply got a NPE during the "transform" of old model to new. 

Seems that shouldn't happen, and ideally a more meaningful message printed.

BTW, with a very similar error in input, I get a more reasonable message ... 

So, the NPE may occur when at "end of list" or "two missing" or something odd. 

Sorry I can't provide complete input ... but the files have already changed (heavy edit day).

I'm not able to provoke the NPE with the new model so I'm closing this. Feel free to reopen if it happens again.

In general I think that editing using a text-editor is hazardous given the nature of the edited material.
