Description

JarFile.getManifest() can return null, so to avoid NPE, code must check for null return value. The following code in framework does not do so:

public Map getManifestHeader() throws Exception

{ // Get the embedded resource. Manifest mf = m_jarFile.getManifest(); // Create a case insensitive map of manifest attributes. return new StringMap(mf.getMainAttributes(), false); }
