    Description

      I get a reproducable NullPointerException if I call eclipse:eclipse on a project that always has a .project-file that contains links with <locationURI>-Tags.

      If I change the present <locationURI> to <location> in .project and call eclipse:eclipse I won't get the error. Also if I call eclipse:clean before calling eclipse:eclipse the .project file of course gets cleaned and will be created new, so temporary links get lost unfortunately.

      I suppose it has to do with the following lines in org.apache.maven.plugin.eclipse.LinkedResource and how the locationNode is retrieved.

      119 	Xpp3Dom locationNode = node.getChild( "location" );
      120 	Xpp3Dom locationURINode = node.getChild( "locationURI" );
      

      Possible workarounds:

      • Call eclipse:clean before and recreate temporary links again.
      • Replace all <locationURI> with <location> before calling eclipse:eclipse to preserve temporary links.
