Null pointer exception when reading docx package

[Peter Loft <Pe...@softwareimaging.com>]

OK, this is my first post and have just started to try and use Apache POI, specifically openxml4j part of it to read the parts of a docx file.
The following is how I'm trying to do this and the problems that I'm getting:

IDE: Eclipse 3.4.2.
POI Version: 3.5 Final.

I've created a Java project for POI (both all of it and just openxml4j part).
I've created an Android project which simply makes the following call (I've also tried OPCPackage):

Package pkg = Package.open(aFilePathAndName, PackageAccess.READ);

I'm getting a null pointer exception in: ContentTypeManager::parseContentTypesFile.
Specifically when trying to get the ContentType attribute.
Examination of the element reveals that it has two 'Extension' attributes but no ContentType one, hence the exception.

Now if I perform the above with beta openxml4j downloaded from sourceforge then it works OK. Obviously there are changes in the way the XML is parsed between the two versions, dom versus sax, but given the triviality of what I'm trying to do I must be doing something obviously wrong.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Peter.
