Description

I prefer that .jar files I deploy have a version number in the name, i.e. instead of JSPWiki.jar, jspwiki-2.8.2svn4.jar.

If I build JSPWiki and give my choice of name to the JSPWiki.jar file in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib I can't use the UserPreferences.jsp anymore.

The error displayed in the browser is:

JSPWiki has detected an error

Error Message
in is null
Exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
Place where detected
java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.(), line 56

Renaming the .jar file back to JSPWiki.jar eliminates the problem.

No stack trace or any other related output appears in the jspwiki log file or the tomcat log files.

I'd love to know why this happens. I've grep'd the JSPWiki source code for uses of ZipInputStream and found none. Very odd.
