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. at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.RegistryStrategyOSGI. throwException(RegistryStrategyOSGI.java:165) at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.RegistryStrategyOSGI. createExecutableExtension(RegistryStrategyOSGI.java:149) at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.ExtensionRegistry. createExecutableExtension(ExtensionRegistry.java:770) at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.ConfigurationElement. 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) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader. 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)

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of * * Profile Augmentation. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown by * * OSGi while augmenting a profile. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 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. at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.RegistryStrategyOSGI. throwException(RegistryStrategyOSGI.java:165) at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.RegistryStrategyOSGI. createExecutableExtension(RegistryStrategyOSGI.java:149) at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.ExtensionRegistry. createExecutableExtension(ExtensionRegistry.java:770) at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.ConfigurationElement. 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) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader. 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.
Problem conclusion
Apply PI66635 to resolve the NullPointerException, due to IES Bugzilla bug 188199, that may occur while augmenting a profile. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fixpack 7.0.0.45.
