Hello Georg,
"Resource must be part of a store" Your layers consist of two definition files layer.xml and feature.xml in your DATA_DIR is a directory workspaces under which the workspaces are as directories. The next level down contains the datastores as directories (no idea how many you have) in these directories have one datastore.xml file each. These datastore.xml files have a tag that looks like: <id>DataStoreInfoImpl--58c1cc24:1288a26e311:-7fff</id> In the directory are also the layers as directories, which hold to files featuretype.xml and layer.xml the featuretype.xml has a tag at the end that looks like; <store class="dataStore"> <id>DataStoreInfoImpl--58c1cc24:1288a26e311:-7fff</id> </store> As it is a nullpointer exception I suspect there is one layer with this tag missing for whatever reason. Delete and define again please. Happy hunting.... I guess you can exclude the layers that loaded, the one to search for is the one where you don't have the name in the log file.
