[iam-dev] Question about the builder and a workspace with projects with

[kcordero <kcordero@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm currently looking at 265956 - Exception on incremental builder if the
pom contains errors.  In my workspace, I have archiva (nested modules at
more than one level) and a completely separate simple Java project.  I get
the error when I add a non-existent dependency in the POM in the simple
Java project.  It fails at this line in BuilderUtil, method
getChildProjects.

EqualsBuilder eb =
       new EqualsBuilder().append( mavenProject.getGroupId(),
parent.getGroupId() ).append( mavenProject.getArtifactId(),
                parent.getArtifactId() ).append( mavenProject.getVersion(),
parent.getVersion() );

When the error occurs, mavenProject is null, when it's supposed to contain
the simple Java project.

I was wondering, should mavenProject ever be null?  If mavenProject can be
null, do we proceed with the rest of the build or stop the build at that
point?

thanks,
Korina
