Description

If <dependencies> contains a <type>pom</type> or <type>war</type> this call:
moduleDescriptor = binaryParser.getModuleDescriptor( path );
throws an IOException:
zip END header not found
because the file is being treated as a jar file.
When the call returns to CompilerMojo.preparePaths() this call returns null:
Throwable cause = pathException.getValue().getCause();
and the next line throws a NullPointerException:
while ( cause.getCause() != null )
