Solved: NullPointerException during SDM deployment.

Former Member · ‎09-11-2009

Hi ,

Suddenly all our SDM deployment is failing, this used to work previously. It is throwing a null pointer exception.

The exception chain is as under:

Sep 11, 2009 3:30:34 PM /userOut/deploy (com.sap.ide.eclipse.sdm.threading.DeployThreadManager) [Thread[Deploy Thread,5,main]] INFO:
