Description

Code at https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/flume-ng-sources/flume-jms-source/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/source/jms/DefaultJMSMessageConverter.java#L103 does not check for a NULL text in a TextMessage from a Flume JMS source. This can lead to a NullPointerException here:

textMessage.getText().getBytes(charset)

while trying to de-reference a null text from the textmessage.

We should probably skip these like the NULL Objects in the ObjectMessage just below at: https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/flume-ng-sources/flume-jms-source/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/source/jms/DefaultJMSMessageConverter.java#L107.
