Okay, I have ported all my projects over to MyEclipse. I built each project shell by scratch. I added the XDoclet functionality tfor building the deployment descriptors in the Web and EJB projects. All was working fine. Next, I moved onto making the build process repeatable by checking my code/setup into the respository. I checked out the code and settings using Eclipse Plugin–subclipse 1.2. Now I am getting the below exception when I “run XDoclet”.

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.xdoclet.run.util.ProjectUtil.populateClassPath(ProjectUtil.java:183)
    at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.xdoclet.run.util.ProjectUtil.populateClassPath(ProjectUtil.java:101)
    at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.xdoclet.run.util.ProjectUtil.getClassPathAsXml(ProjectUtil.java:69)
    at org.jboss.ide.eclipse.xdoclet.run.util.ProjectUtil.transformBuildFile(ProjectUtil.java:417)

    at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:58)

I am wondering if I have forgotten something in my setups. Here is what I have checked.

1. Windows -> Preferences->MyEclipse ->XDoclet ->Build. Select the Use dynamic build specification.
2. Ensured I did have my .xdoclet file within the project’s root level directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I try to re-created the XDoclet structure again from scratch, I get the same error.

Russ,

Since everything worked before you checked the project into the repository can you reverify that you checked in all the project’s “dot” files: .project, .classpath, .xdoclet, etc from your original working project? To see all the “dot” files you need to turn off filtering of them in the Package Explorer view on it’s dropdown menu (small, downward pointing arrow) and select ‘Filters’.

Scott:

Yet, you were right. The best approach is to check everything into the repository and wack the *.class files inside the repository. This will get the metadata files required for MyEclipse. Thanks so much!
