Error description

  • NullPointerException during OSGi loading process.
    
    Augmentation of WebSphere profile with 1st feature pack went ok,
    but the 2nd one resulted in this exception:
    
    org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in com.ibm.ws.runti
    me was unable to load class com.ibm.wsspi.profile.WSProfileCLI.

    *                      OSGi while augmenting a profile.        *

    ****************************************************************
    While augmenting a profile the OSGi framework throws a
    CoreException, which contains a causal NullPointerException
    like the one shown here.
    org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in
    com.ibm.ws.runti
    me was unable to load class com.ibm.wsspi.profile.WSProfileCLI.

    createExecutableExtension(ConfigurationElement.java:243)
    ...
    org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException[1]:
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader.
    getLoaderProxy(BundleLoader.java:240)
    at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader.
    createExportPackageSource(BundleLoader.java:212)

    addImportedPackages(BundleLoader.java:203)
    at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader.
    findImportedSource(BundleLoader.java:868)
    at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader.
    findClass(BundleLoader.java:371)
    The NullPointerException occurs when OSGi attempts to resolve
    a bundle fragment, where the fragment's host bundle is not yet
    resolved. The problem was fixed under IBM Eclipse SDK (IES)
    bugzilla bug 188199.
    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=188199
    APAR PI66635 applies the fix for IES bug 188199 to the OSGi
    implementation provided in WebSphere Application Server
    version 7.0.
