Description

I have a component A with a required dependency to B and C.
I add A, B and C to the dependency manager.
Then I remove A and B.
Finally I only add A again. Now the exception "Could not create null object for class com.example.Activator$B is thrown". See the attached Activator.
I did not expect that a NullObject is ever created for a required dependency.
