[oXygen-user] Null Pointer Exception

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

index-preprocess is an Ant task of the IDIOM FO plugin. I think it is a 
bug in the implementation of this task because it should not fail with a 
NullPointerException. From the source code of this task it seems you 
have an empty element indexterm, index-sort-as, index-see or 
index-see-also in an input DITA document. The index-preprocess task 
should report an error like "empty indexterm element" instead of failing 
with NullPointerException.


Regards,
Sorin
