Description

i'am using ivy 1.2a with netbeans. Running the buildlist task works fine for the first time but after run once the task causes a NullPointerException.

The reason is the following snippet from fr.jayasoft.ivy.ant.IvyTask:

protected void ensureMessageInitialised() {
if (!Message.isInitialised())

{ Message.init(new AntMessageImpl(getProject())); }

}

NetBeans starts Ant always within the same VM and fr.jayasoft.ivy.util.Message references statically an "old" Ant project. No buildlisteners are registered to the "old" project object anymore and so a call Project.log causes a NullPointerException.

Please remove this static dependency because NetBeans + Ivy is really cool - when it works...
