    Description

      The extension property pdf:embedded-file (to attach files to the pdf) is not working, and generates a NullPointerException.

      I noticed the problem while trying to write an answer to this StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28110607/unable-to-add-an-attachment-to-a-pdf-while-using-fop
      (the question is about a different problem, but while testing on fop-trunk I noticed this bug I'm reporting).

      Looking at the revision history, I think the implementation of this extension has been broken since revision [1522934].

      I'm going to attach a simple fo file showing the problem, together with a proposed patch.

      I have been a fop committer for some time, followed by a looong period of just lurking the mailing list; I tried to commit the changes myself, but I guess my long inactivity period has caused the revocation of my commit privileges.
