#8 Null pointer exception on WAR file export

[Anonymous]

We get a null pointer exception when we try to export a
WAR file. We are using Eclipse V2.1.0, Build ID
200303272130 and your WebApp Plug-In V2.0.0.

It seems to be the same error as already submitted with
bug ID "697869 WAR export error".

However there are detailed error messages log in the
Eclipse .log file. Refer to the attached .zip file for details.

Hi,

this is just a small bug in the class
WarFileExportOperation.java.

Just replace the if statement in the method

protected void exportResource(IResource resource) throws
InterruptedException ...

with

<snipp>
if (resource.getType() == IResource.FILE) {
if (!resource.getName
().startsWith(".") //$NON-NLS-1$
&& !
resource.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("tomcat-users.xml") //
$NON-NLS-1$
&&
((exportJavaFiles
//
patched by OG: 08.05.2003

&& "java".equalsIgnoreCase
(resource.getFileExtension()) //$NON-NLS-1$
|| (!
("java".equalsIgnoreCase(resource.getFileExtension())))))) { //
$NON-NLS-1$

</snipp>

and it works.

Dear Admin, hope this helps .... ;-))

(Believe me, there are files which don't have an extension.)

Cheers
Oliver
