[jira] Commented: (BEEHIVE-990) Controls Annotation processor throws null pointer exception when an annotation type cannot be resolved

["matt c (JIRA)" <de...@beehive.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-990?page=comments#action_12376092 ] 

matt c commented on BEEHIVE-990:
--------------------------------

Verified fixed using local beehive build synced to SVN 393036 by adding an erroneous annotation to an interface and confirming the compiler error.

added the annotation '@NotAnAnno' to a control at the class and again at the method level.  In both cases a 'cannot find symbol' error was given.

      [apt] D:\beehive\trunk\controls\test\src\controls\org\apache\beehive\contr
ols\test\controls\myTests\SubHello.java:38: cannot find symbol
      [apt] symbol  : class NotAnAnno
      [apt] location: interface org.apache.beehive.controls.test.controls.myTest
s.SubHello
      [apt]     @NotAnAnno

> If an annotation type cannot be resolved by the controls annotation processor, a null pointer exception is thrown by the annotation processor.  This would typically happen when the import for the annotation was not added to the source file.
> Need to update AnnotationConstraintAptValidator to handle this case correctly.
