[jira] (MNG-5649) Stop abusing IllegalArgumentException in case of null

Michael Osipov created MNG-5649:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Stop abusing IllegalArgumentException in case of null
                 Key: MNG-5649
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5649
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Michael Osipov


In several spots of Maven Core, IAE is thrown where an argument is null. This should be turned into {{NullPointerException}} since JDK adheres to is and the [description|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/NullPointerException.html] of this exception indicates that and Effective Java does that too.

I possible fix version could next minor: 3.3. Is no one is opposed it could even be 3.2.2.
