Description

I am getting NullPointerExceptions in org.apache.flex.compiler.clients.ExternCConfiguration.isExcluded (Line 343)
because in org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.codegen.externals.reference.ClassReference in getInterfaces() in line 482 no check is performed, if the result of getModel().getClassReference(interfaceName) is not null. This adds "null" to the list of interfaces and when accessed in org.apache.flex.compiler.clients.ExternCConfiguration.isExcluded I the the NPE. It also makes it impossible to find out why the thing is blowing up.
