NullPointerException from logger when generating mock war file

Question

When generating mock war file, I get the following NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logError(SoapUI.java:950)

at com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logError(SoapUI.java:946)

at com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport.showErrorMessage(UISupport.java:739)

at com.eviware.soapui.tools.MockAsWar.createMockAsWarArchive(MockAsWar.java:122)

The war file is generated, so it looks like it's just the logging that causes a NPE. When doing this from the UI, it's not important - but when running in another process (e.g. Maven) it's bad because it will terminate the current thread.

Just to show that this happens from both UI and command line:&nbsp;java.lang.NullPointerException&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logError(SoapUI.java:950)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logError(SoapUI.java:946)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport.showErrorMessage(UISupport.java:739)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.tools.MockAsWar.createMockAsWarArchive(MockAsWar.java:122)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.smartbear.servicev.action.project.VirtAsWarAction.perform(VirtAsWarAction.java:102)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.smartbear.servicev.action.project.VirtAsWarAction.perform(VirtAsWarAction.java:1)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.support.action.swing.SwingActionDelegate.actionPerformed(SwingActionDelegate.java:130)&nbsp;java.lang.NullPointerException&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logError(SoapUI.java:950)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logError(SoapUI.java:946)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport.showErrorMessage(UISupport.java:739)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.eviware.soapui.tools.MockAsWar.createMockAsWarArchive(MockAsWar.java:122)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.smartbear.ready.cmd.runner.pro.SoapUIProMockAsWarGenerator.runRunner(SoapUIProMockAsWarGenerator.java:79)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.smartbear.ready.cmd.runner.AbstractSoapUIRunner.run(AbstractSoapUIRunner.java:257)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.smartbear.ready.cmd.runner.AbstractSoapUIRunner.runFromCommandLine(AbstractSoapUIRunner.java:160)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; at com.smartbear.ready.cmd.runner.pro.SoapUIProMockAsWarGenerator.main(SoapUIProMockAsWarGenerator.java:29)
