Hello,
We are constantly working on improving ATL, which includes reporting
more detailed error messages.
Here are three possibilities to help us doing this, ordered by
increasing effectiveness:
1) report an error message issue (preferably as a bugzilla entry) with
as many details as possible.
2) in addition to 1): explain what the error is, and what kind of error
message you would like to see in this case.
3) in addition to 2): submit a patch correcting the issue (i.e.,
providing an appropriate error message for the case identified in 1)).
As you can see, this is simply the usual way open source works ;-).
In your case, because the NullPointerException occurs in the launch
configuration code, your problem is probably in the launch config.
You have already kind of done 1). However, it would be even better to
open a bugzilla entry, and to provide more details (e.g., the version of
ATL you are using).
2) can be done once you have identified the problem. You may do this by
figuring out what is wrong in your launch config. However, it may help
to have a look at the code of AtlLaunchConfigurationDelegate.java,
especially at line 247 ;-).
I have just tried to do this, but without success, because I do not know
which version of ATL you are using.
Regards,
Frédéric Jouault

Hello,
I'm also having this problem. I'm using the ATL stable development build
of February 16, 2007, with the Europa release versions of Eclipse (3.3)
and EMF (2.3.0).
After trying for a while, I made a checkout from CVS, but had further
problems (No option in the menu to transform from .km3 to .ecore, and
validation problems creating an ATL launch configuration). So I decided to
stay with the development build, and try to find the nature of the error.
The stack trace provided by the error doesn't make sense in the current
CVS version of AtlLaunchConfigurationDelegate.java which is 1.4. But when
exploring version 1.1, the line numbers fit, especially the ones of the
troubled runAtlLauncher() method.
The point where the NullPointerException occurs in that file is:
for(Iterator i = toDispose.iterator() ; i.hasNext() ; ) {
ASMModel model = (ASMModel)i.next();
AtlModelHandler.getHandler(model).disposeOfModel(model);
}
being line 247 the second line of that block statement.
Is there anything we can do as end users to fix this? I can't use the
current code in the CVS since it is not stable. What I'm trying to perform
is not very complicated: I'm trying to run the Author2Person example shown
in the getting started guide.
Here's the complete stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException

org.atl.eclipse.adt.launching.AtlLaunchConfigurationDelegate .runAtlLauncher(AtlLaunchConfigurationDelegate.java:247)
at
org.atl.eclipse.adt.launching.AtlLaunchConfigurationDelegate .runAtlLauncher(AtlLaunchConfigurationDelegate.java:168)

at
org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin$7.run(DebugUIPlu gin.java:1102)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55)
I hope I provided enough information about this. Thanks a lot for your
help.

Hello Juan,
Thank you very much for your effort.
May I ask you to do a little more work? ;-)
Could you please open a buzilla entry for this issue?
You can copy-and-paste your post as a description.
Also, could you please attach a zip containing your project to this bug
entry?
Thanks,
Frédéric Jouault
