[p2-dev] Re: [pde-dev] error running P2 metadata generation

Some guesses:

* ${buildDirectory} is not defined
* ${buildDirectory} contains spaces
* ${buildDirectory} contains the wrong slashes
* repo.name properties need to be wrapped with quotes

You could try running the generator by hand and pass in all the required parameters. Here's the syntax I used the last time I had to regen metadata for an update site:

cd /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2; rm -fr artifacts.jar content.jar; \
/home/nboldt/eclipse/eclipse/eclipse -vm /opt/jdk1.5.0/bin/java \
-workspace /tmp/workspace -application \
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator \
  -updateSite /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
  -source /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
  -site file:/tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/site.xml \
  -features /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/features/ \
  -bundles /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/bundles/ \
  -metadataRepository file:/tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
  -artifactRepository file:/tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
  -metadataRepositoryName "JBoss Tools Update Site" \
  -artifactRepositoryName "JBoss Tools Artifacts" \
  -noDefaultIUs -compress -reusePack200Files; \
rm -fr /tmp/workspace:

Copying to p2-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx in case they have a better idea than I.

here is my product.properties file p2 segment:
generate.p2.metadata=true
p2.metadata.repo = file:${buildDirectory}/repo
p2.artifact.repo = file:${buildDirectory}/repo
p2.metadata.repo.name = OpenArbor Meta Repo
p2.artifact.repo.name = OpenArbor Artifact Repo
p2.flavor = tooling
p2.publish.artifacts=true

can anyone shed some light on why I'm getting the NPE?
