Strangeness: MethodInvocationException

[Colin Kilburn]

I rebuilt maven from source today, and now maven complains that my 
shortDescription should not be null and I get a seemingly unrelated 
error.   My shortDescription attribute in the project.xml is not null.   
I saw a posting of someone having this error a few months ago using 
reactor, and the solution was to add velocity to the dependencies.  This 
didn't fix it for me. 

Anyone know the fix here?   output & stack trace follows.

Thanks in advance,
Colin
