>          Key: HIVEMIND-78
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVEMIND-78
>      Project: HiveMind
>         Type: Bug
>   Components: framework
>     Versions: 1.0, 1.1
>  Environment: MacOSX. Running unit tests of code running within hivemind using JUnit inside Ant inside Maven.
>     Reporter: Paul Russell
>     Assignee: James Carman
>      Fix For: 1.1
>  Attachments: hivemind-package-defect.diff

> MessageFormat uses java.lang.Class.getPackage() to obtain the name of the package for the 'reference class' in order to choose an appropriate resource bundle. Unfortunately,  java.lang.Class.getPackage() does not guarantee to return a Package object.
> It may return 'null' if (a) the reference class is loaded by the primordial classloader, or (b) if the classloader didn't create a package object and associated it with the class.
> I am seeing this problem while running unit tests of my application within Maven. Example stacktrace follows:
> java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.RegistryImpl.getServicePoint(RegistryImpl.java:142)
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.RegistryImpl.getService(RegistryImpl.java:149)
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.RegistryImpl.startup(RegistryImpl.java:321)
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.RegistryBuilder.constructRegistry(RegistryBuilder.java:417)
> 	... lots more
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.MessageFormatter.<init>(MessageFormatter.java:49)
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.MessageFormatter.<init>(MessageFormatter.java:44)
> 	at org.apache.hivemind.impl.ImplMessages.<clinit>(ImplMessages.java:45)
> 	... 59 more
> The only safe way that I can see to achieve the same effect as Class.getPackage().getName() is to do something like:
> String lReferenceClassName = referenceClass.getName();
> String lPackageName = lReferenceClassName.substring(0,lReferenceClassName.lastIndexOf('.'));
> ... probably as a private function within MessageFormat itself.
