It might be a jdk specific bug, the same execution works with the sun jdk.

There seems a general problem with Maven running on IBM JDKs (also 1.5 and 1.4.2), at least on Linux. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.commons.devel/99692/match=ibm+maven

Forgot to say that works fine with IBM JDK 1.5 and BEA JRockit 1.5, twice under Windows box.

Here is a fix.
Erik, could test it with your project and apache-maven-2.0.10-SNAPSHOT ?

Out of curiosity: Why are the null checks only required for certain JREs? I mean, a null is a null and hence its occurrence during the iterations should fail for everybody, shouldn't it?

Hi Benjamin,

Yes you are right on the ideas but you forgot that JDK impl is vendor specific.
The following is the more simplest patch but I don't know the potential side effects so I proposed null check.

Have a glance on sun [1] and harmony [2] for the addAll() impl.

Stupid question... Where can I download and install apache-maven-2.0.10-SNAPSHOT?
Is there a binary distribution like the official one for the snapshot?

I raised this issue on the IBM forums but no answer so far since it is not related to a compilation issue. If this really comes from the addAll method, I'm shocked that the JDK compatibility suites are not capturing this one.
maven 2.0.9 works indeed fine with jrockit and the sun jdk but I believe they share more of the same implementation code unlike the IBM one.

AFAIK we dont have a snapshot space
So go to [1], and just build it [2]

but you forgot that JDK impl is vendor specific.

The terms "implementation" and "vendor specific" are inheritly related, that's no news. My concern was that besides some vendor-specific differences under the hood, every JRE impl must obey the contracts imposed by the API.

After some investigation, the problem boils down to a JRE bug just like Erik assumed, i.e. the null value should never appear in the plugin list iterated by Maven and it is not Maven's fault that it does. Take the following code snippet:

Collection coll = Arrays.asList( new String[] { "1", "2" } );

List list = new ArrayList();

list.add( "a" );
list.add( 0, "b" );
list.add( 0, "c" );
list.add( 0, "d" );
list.add( 0, "e" );
list.add( 0, "f" );
list.add( 0, "g" );
list.add( 0, "h" );
list.add( 0, "i" );

list.addAll( 6, coll );

System.out.println( System.getProperty( "java.vendor.url" ) );
System.out.println( list.size() );
System.out.println( list );
System.out.println( list.contains( null ) );

On a Sun JDK the following output is observed:

http://java.sun.com/
11
[i, h, g, f, e, d, 1, 2, c, b, a]
false

In contrast, on harmony-jdk-629320 I observed

http://harmony.apache.org
12
[i, h, g, f, e, d, 1, 2, d, c, b, null]
true

which is just incorrect.

Facit: Here is nothing to fix in Maven. I wouldn't ever consider a workaround since this would require to review all code spots that use ArrayList and not just the one class ModelUtils where the JRE bug manifested itself for the first time. The JRE vendor is responsible to fix this.

FYI on IBM, the result is

http://www.ibm.com/
11
[i, h, g, f, e, d, 1, 2, c, b, a]
false

So, we found an issue in Harmony (HARMONY-5839) but no clue for IBM....

I agree with you that it is the contract of the vendor to respect the JDK.

My code snippet was specially crafted to trigger the faulty code path in Harmony. There might just be a similar bug in the IBM JRE that simply is not revealed by the test snippet. As far as I can tell after some debugging through Maven, Maven itself is not inserting nulls into the plugin list so somebody else seems to do... If you really want to know, you could simply set a break point on ModelUtils.java:243 and verify the results list is properly populated by ArrayList.addAll().

According to http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=206283
this bug is fixed in Harmony Mile Stone 6 and will be fixed in IBM JDK 6.0 SR2.
Hard to believe such nasty bugs can be present in JDK code without being caught by a test suite.

Erik.

I'm reopening this. (sorry brett)

This problem occurs only on maven-2.0.9 and newer code.
It does not occur with maven-2.0.5 (for example)

It also occurs on the following IBM JDK / JRE's ...

sure, if it's triggered by a change on the Maven end then we should look into whether it's fixable

I'm reopening this.

Any suggestions on how are we supposed to fix data corruption in a central collection type like ArrayList?

I built a custom Maven 2.0.9 distro from the corresponding tag which differs from the official distro only by the attached patch. The patch is adding some debug output to stderr intended to track the point where the offending null element in the ArrayList pops up. In case of harmony-629320, this was the call to ArrayList.addAll(int, Collection) in ModelUtils.java:243. Joakim, it would be interesting to see what debug logs you get for IBM JDK 1.6.

Attaching a project with a simple case that shows that the IBM JDK fails while the SUN JDK works.

This example needs more work to show the same NPE's found in other more complex projects.

I'll attach another example when I get a use-case that is repeatable.

OK, for this particular example, I believe the only one to blame is the POM author . The buid fails because tricky-1.1.pom is simply corrupt: According to its XML declaration, the file encoding is UTF-8. However, the octet sequence \xF8 \x6C formed by the characters "ĝl" is no valid UTF-8 input. The IBM JDKs before 1.6 seem to employ a strict decoder and hence abort file reading with an exception.

Reproducing the NPE is the remaining challenge...

Attaching MNG-3580-maven-core.patch

This patch adds a JUnit test to the maven-core project that demonstrates one of the NPEs encountered while operating within the IBM JDK.

NOTE: This patch does not fix the issue, just adds a Unit test to tickle one of the bugs.

Thanks Joakim for the test, so we have tracked down the NPE from ArtifactResolverDiagnoser to an actual Maven bug: MNG-3753

The remaining question: Is the originally reported NPE from ModelUtils still reproducible with latest IBM JDK 1.6 SR2?

Once I roll in the patch from MNG-3573, I can now see the error messages for bad parent pom information.

The original ModelUtils NPE goes away if I fix the bad parent pom information on the corporate repository.

So, the result of all of this is ...

1) ModelUtils iterates thru a parentPlugins List that has a null entry.
2) The null entry occurs due to a pom parsing error on bad UTF8 encoding.
2.a) The IBM JDK allows this null entry to be created in the List.
3) The root cause of the null entry (the bad parsing) is incorrectly reported to the system as a Unable to Find Artifact.
4) The crucial information, "There is a bad pom" is not communicated, to the user, or the system.

I think we can close this Jira, apply MNG-3753, and create a new Jira for clearer error messages on bad poms.
Funny enough, better error messages on bad poms has (kinda) been started as MNG-3392

I can confirm that upgrading to IBM JDK 1.6 SR2 (on ppc) fixed this issue for me.
