I am trying to use the clearcase
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.clearcase.CCCheckout tool and I
get a null pointer error on line 43 "ckout.execute();". The code is
attached below.
Here is the Exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.clearcase.ClearCase.run(ClearCase
.java:134)
at
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.clearcase.CCCheckout.execute(CCCh
eckout.java:145)
at
com.lmco.dat.util.ClearCaseMethods.checkOutFiles(ClearCaseMethods.java:4
4)
at com.lmco.dat.util.Main.main(Main.java:9)
I checked and all of the required attributes are set(
reserved
Specifies whether to check out the file as reserved or not
Yes
).
Do you have a code example that I can view?
Thanks in advance,
Nicole
