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

> Failure mode when dependencies are missing is totally uninformative

> 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.
