Description

The following code generates a NullPointerException

new org.xml.sax.ext.Attributes2Impl().addAttribute("","","","","");

This is caused by the check of getLength against specified.length. After the constructor is called the specified and declared arrays are null. Adding a null check would resolve this problem.
