[PR] Fix #12986: Throw descriptive UnsupportedOperationException instead of NPE in MavenSession.lookup() [maven]
gnodet opened a new pull request, #12996:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/12996
## Summary
- Adds a `checkContainer()` null guard to the deprecated `MavenSession.lookup()`, `lookupList()`, and `lookupMap()` methods
- When `PlexusContainer` is not injected (Maven 4 default), these methods now throw a descriptive `UnsupportedOperationException` with a migration message instead of a confusing `NullPointerException`
- Adds `MavenSessionTest` with 7 test cases covering both the null-container (Maven 4) and populated-container (Maven 3) paths
## Context
In Maven 4, the primary `MavenSession` constructor no longer accepts a `PlexusContainer` and sets the field to `null`. Plugins using the deprecated `MavenSession.lookup()` API (e.g., `gmaven-plugin:1.0` used by servicemix) get a cryptic NPE:
```
Cannot invoke "org.codehaus.plexus.PlexusContainer.lookup(String)"
because "this.container" is null
```
The fix replaces this NPE with a clear `UnsupportedOperationException`:
```
PlexusContainer is not available in this session. Plugins should use
JSR 330 (@Inject) injection instead of MavenSession.lookup(). The
MavenSession Plexus lookup methods are deprecated.
```
## Test plan
- [x] New `MavenSessionTest` (7 tests) — all pass
- [x] Full `maven-core` test suite (650 tests) — all pass
- [x] Full reactor build (`mvn verify -DskipTests`) — BUILD SUCCESS
