Description

Jira might return explicit null values in its result

{'resolution':null}

. These are converted to explicit NullNodes by jackson.

In the case of an explicit null value, RestJiraDownloader throws a NullPointerException.

RestJiraDownloader must check both if val != null and !val.isNull().
