Description

I found this issue while working on OFBIZ-8250.

It can be easily reproduced on our trunk demo at
https://ofbiz-vm.apache.org:8443/catalog/control/main?USERNAME=admin&PASSWORD=ofbiz&JavaScriptEnabled=Y

By default the footer shows information about the revision and others. They are beforehand generated in a file which is then used by a Freemarker template for rendering.

This template depends on themes, by default it's at
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/trunk/themes/tomahawk/template/Footer.ftl?view=markup (see lines 26-27)

If we remove the generated file, which is at /home/ofbizDemo/trunk/runtime/SvnInfo.ftl on the OFBiz demo server. Then the error appears.

Let me know when you want to test this (ie temporary rename the file). Even if it's benign, better to not annoy OFBiz users with this issue on screen.

Thanks!
