I am trying to setup Maven with RAD7.
I have created Maven project for simple web application. (struts2+jsp).
I have added dependency for struts2-core in pom.xml.
But when I run pom.xml I am getting following exception. I don't see rootcause for this exception which is making more harder for me to trouble shoot.
Have any of you encountered same exception?

Versions that I am using:
Maven:apache-maven-2.0.9
Struts2

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

I found the solution.. Following plugin details were missing from my pom.xml. adding below section has fixed this

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</plugin>
 
You would be much easier to understand if you took that bucket off of your head. And that goes for the tiny ad too!
