Deploy script bombs with remote host

["Erik B. Craig" <gi...@gmail.com>]

All,

I am wondering if anyone else has been using the deployer script to 
deploy on a remote machine at all recently, and if so if you have 
noticed any problems with it.
I am getting a NullPointerException on an attempt to deploy a plugin 
from one machine to another with

./deploy.sh -u <username> -p <password> --host <hostname here> 
install-plugin <path to plugin>

The similar command works flawlessly locally on the machine I'm trying 
to deploy to. Both machines have the same compiled revision of 
2.1-SNAPSHOT running (590751).

Here's a copy of the error while running ./deploy.sh with the -v option
11:17:09,171 INFO  [Log4jService] 
----------------------------------------------

Anyone else seen this behavior?

I'm pretty sure this is something no one has tried before.

The basic problem IMNSHO is explained clearly CommandSupport line 60:

     protected CommandContext commandContext = null; //todo: this is  
pretty bad; should add it into constructor

this should be private final.

I guess we need a jira.... if you want  to fix it fine otherwise I  
will a bit later today.

thanks for trying out remote plugin install!!!
