Description

I'm getting NPE when building site docs, with no indication in the stack-trace as to what has gone wrong. Different things happen if I build from clean or build again on top of a failed build.

In the site directory, I type: mvn site
This builds some archives for child modules and then starts chewing on the dox files. It fails part way with a NPE. You can get the code that triggers this from subversion:

http://metagenome.ncl.ac.uk/subversion/instantsoap/trunk/instantsoap/site/
revision 598

The stack-trace looks like this:

[INFO] [site:site]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] FATAL ERROR
