Description

I am using Property.createInstanceFromPropertyName in code which is not running via the accumulo start classloader so it's not being configured (may not be relevent). I get the following error logged-

2014-10-21 12:44:23,423 [conf.Property] WARN : Failed to load class 
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.accumulo.start.classloader.AccumuloClassLoader$2.loadClass(AccumuloClassLoader.java:261)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:316)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:268)
	at org.apache.accumulo.start.classloader.vfs.AccumuloVFSClassLoader.loadClass(AccumuloVFSClassLoader.java:112)
	at org.apache.accumulo.core.conf.Property.createInstance(Property.java:641)
	at org.apache.accumulo.core.conf.Property.createInstanceFromPropertyName(Property.java:668)

This is considered public code and should probably have better handling for null configurations
