I am new at Archiva. I have built it from the latest from svn, deployed it on Tomcat 5.5.23 on windows 2000.
Now I get an NPE (for a null registry, see attached log) when I try to add a repository, I originally posted on maven users mailing list where Wendy Smoak kindly told me it could be due to a missing configuration file that I could work around by creating a ~/.m2/archiva.xml file with an empty <configuration />. I did it but it fails the same way. Thanks for any help, Gael
