Null pointer error with ReflectData.getProtocol

[tazan007]

Hi guys, I am experimenting with avro and trying to generate a protocol from
an existing class.  As as test, I created this class:

public class Hello {
    public void hello(String name)
    {
        System.out.println("Hello " +name);
    }
}

I am using the following method to create the procotol:

        ReflectData.getProtocol(Hello.class);

And here is the exception I am getting:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

I am using the avro 1.0 jars/source.

Any ideas to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.  I do have
PARANAMER being run and the following code does show the parameter names:

         try
        {
            Method[] methods = Hello.class.getMethods();
            Paranamer paranamer = new CachingParanamer();

            for(Method method: methods)
            {
                String[] parameterNames =
paranamer.lookupParameterNames(method);
                System.out.println(method.getName() + " : ");
                for(String name : parameterNames)
                {
                    System.out.println("\t" + name);
                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
        }

Thanks,
