[platform-releng-dev] null pointer w/ build scripts?

[Brian Moyle <bmoyle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anybody else seen a null pointer exception using the new build scripts?

I believe it fails while building dtcore.jar (because the "BUILD FAILED" 
message immediately follows the message about building dtcore.jar).

This is my first attempt at using these scripts, so it's quite possible 
I'm just doing something wrong.

I checked out basebuild and eclipsebuilder -r v20030127 (I just picked a 
revision that looked current), and issued:

   buildEclipse -bootclasspath /mve/windows_rt/rt.jar

I verified I have the recommended versions of the tools per the 
platform-releng instructions, and I'm trying this on a RedHat 7.3 system.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em.

Here's where I see the problem:

I still have the entire output, so if you need more information, please 
let me know.
