Matt Magoffin commented on KARAF-670:
-------------------------------------

I just ran into this issue in Karaf 2.3.5. I started with KARAF_BASE set to a directory that had only *etc*, *data*, and *deploy* directories, and Karaf fails with

{noformat}
Unable to update instance pid: Child instance started but no root registered in /usr/local/opt/cave-2.3.5/instances/instance.properties
Could not create framework: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException

	at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.main(Main.java:507)
{noformat}

Perhaps there is a regression?

> I manually created an instance and set karaf.base to the new instance folder, but I forgot to create the folder ${karaf.base}/system. This missing folder died on dir.listFiles() in Main.findFiles(). That method checks theFile for existence, but its caller forgets to check bundleDir.
