Re: [tycho-user] NPE in surefire with 0.22

["Sievers, Jan" <jan.sievers@xxxxxxx>]

report it as a tycho bug with sample project attached and we will figure out if it's actually a surefire problem.

Hi all,

I experience a NPE in (non Tycho) surefire code after the upgrade to 0.22. I just want to know if the Tycho developers are interested in that or if I should instead report that on the parent Maven Surefire project.

It is caused by an undefined property in the excludes configuration (this is the effective POM excerpt)
