James M Snell commented on ABDERA-29:
-------------------------------------

I've updated the Abdera class so that the error is not hidden on the newFactory and newParser methods. We still need to make this more intuitive for the entire class

> When Abdera is used in an environment where necessary jars are missing (the JAF stuff in the case I just encountered) the failure mode (null pointer return values from things like Abdera.getNewFactory()) is basically impossible to diagnose.  Sure, you can tell something is wrong, but there's no indication as to WHAT is wrong.
