Description

When I build parquet on my system I get this error during the build:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-remote-resources-plugin:1.5:process (default) on project parquet-generator: Error rendering velocity resource. NullPointerException -> [Help 1]

About a year ago julienledem responded that this is caused due to a bug in Maven in combination with Java 8:

At this page http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31229445/build-failure-apache-parquet-mr-source-mvn-install-failure/33360512#33360512

Now this bug has been solved at the Maven end in maven-filtering 1.2
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-319

The problem is that this fix has not yet been integrated into the latest available maven versions yet.

I'll put up a pull request with a proposed fix for this.
