Peter Palaga commented on MCHECKSTYLE-250: ------------------------------------------ For this bug to occur it is enough that the dependency of non-jar type ({{pom}} in our case) in plugin dependencies is a transitive dependency. In our case the checkstyle configuration is packaged as a {{jar}} - see [here|https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-build-tools/blob/956f04cbdfcd563982ef29aef19c93e9cb46a14b/build-tools/pom.xml#L21] but its parent is of type {{pom}} - see [here|https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-build-tools/blob/956f04cbdfcd563982ef29aef19c93e9cb46a14b/pom.xml#L27]. We have to break the parent-child link between the two as a workaround. > NPE on tying to load LICENSE.txt resource from non-jar plugin dependencies >
