I have added a parent pom file with an URL to our company logo. This worked fine and the company logo appeared on the right side of the header section.
I then was looking in changing the default build configuration by enabling the component org.apache.maven.continuum.configuration.ConfigurationService in the file WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/plexus/application.xml and changing the default-m2-goals value. After restarting I now get a NullPointerException locate in the header section that seems to come from the logo configuration I did. Everything else works fine except that if I click on Appearance I get again the NullPointerException. How can I fix this?
