Bootstrap plugin NPE

I am trying to convert maven project of Netty to Gradle using bootstrap plugin. Here is the exception I got:

* Exception is:

This looks like GRADLE-2666.

Gradle 1.6 will have the first “official” release of the ‘build-setup’ plugin (new name for the ‘bootstrap’ plugin). I believe this issue has been fixed, or certainly will be once this plugin is released and announced.

I beg your pardon, but 1.6, released today, has exactly the same problem! How could you make a functionality to one of the main features of the new release, when there is known blocker bug in it?

I just tried my project from which i reported http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2666 again. It just won’t work with Gradle 1.6. Same exception as before (note: retested on another computer)

Hey Carlo, we have seen this nullpointer in the past and it was reported in another thread. Is the project you tested publicly available?

No, this is not a public project. But in http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2666 you will find the attachment “dpjw.zip”, where I made the poms available (you need no other sources, don’t you?)

You can try Netty from Github: https://github.com/netty/netty. I get my error with it.

I still have the problem as well.

In my business environment it would be a killer argument if I could say: “Hey look, running this smart script and now you have - with no further costs - a complete migration from Maven to Gradle”.

So I hope this get’s fixed with 1.7.
