---------------------------------------

             Summary: Missing package-info.java causes NPE in MissingDoclet.java
                 Key: LUCENE-9747
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9747
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: general/javadocs
    Affects Versions: master (9.0)
            Reporter: David Eric Pugh


When running {{./gradlew :solr:core:javadoc}} discovered that if a package directory is missing the {{package-info.java}} file you get a VERY cryptic error:

 

{{javadoc: error - fatal error encountered: java.lang.NullPointerException}}
{{javadoc: error - Please file a bug against the javadoc tool via the Java bug reporting page}}

 

I poked around and that the {{MissingDoclet.java}} method call to \{{reporter.print(Diagnostic.Kind.ERROR, element, fullMessage.toString());}} was failing, due to the element having some sort of null in it.  I am attaching a patch and a PR.
