When trying to use the custom export function I seem to stumble into a bug that prevents me from using it. I'm using a modified version of Mark Schenk's export filter and call it via the command line. However, since a recent system/Java update, this does not work anymore.
Here's what happens:
When exporting my usual .bib file (attached: Hippocampus.bib) via the command line interface, I get a NullPointerException (see below).
When using the export functionality via the GUI, I get the same error. However, when I use a much smaller/subset .bib file (attached: min.bib), the export actually works perfectly fine.
However, trying to export the small .bib file via the command line, again, results in the same NullPointerException.
Here are the error/system details:

Could you provide the command line used?
Of course, here you go:
