[rules-users] JUnit testing problem

Continuing to have problems - can use Drools in RCP but when I try to JUnit test, I cannot instantiate a PackageBuilder. With the following code fragment: @BeforeClass public static void setUp() throws Exception { Reader source; PackageBuilderConfiguration pkgConfig = new PackageBuilderConfiguration(); JavaDialectConfiguration javaDialectConf = (JavaDialectConfiguration) pkgConfig.getDialectConfiguration("java"); javaDialectConf.setCompiler(JavaDialectConfiguration.ECLIPSE); if (pkgConfig == null) { System.out.println("Error - null package configuration"); } else { System.out.println("Package configuration is not null"); // NOTE THAT THIS EXECUTES SO NOT NULL } final PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder(pkgConfig); // CRASH OCCURS IN THIS LINE OF CODE I get the following trace: Package configuration is not null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.mvel.optimizers.OptimizerFactory.<clinit>(OptimizerFactory.java:43) at org.drools.rule.builder.dialect.mvel.MVELDialect.init(MVELDialect.java: 142) at org.drools.compiler.DialectRegistry.initAll(DialectRegistry.java:49) at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.<init>(PackageBuilder.java:146) at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.<init>(PackageBuilder.java:108) at droolsRules.tests.AllDroolsRulesTests.setUp(AllDroolsRulesTests.java:49) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun .reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java: 39) at sun .reflect .DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java: 25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org .junit .internal .runners.BeforeAndAfterRunner.invokeMethod(BeforeAndAfterRunner.java:74) at org .junit .internal .runners.BeforeAndAfterRunner.runBefores(BeforeAndAfterRunner.java:50) at org .junit .internal .runners.BeforeAndAfterRunner.runProtected(BeforeAndAfterRunner.java:33) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestClassRunner.run(TestClassRunner.java:52) at org .eclipse .jdt .internal .junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:38) at org .eclipse .jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org .eclipse .jdt .internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java: 460) at org .eclipse .jdt .internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java: 673) at org .eclipse .jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java: 386) at org .eclipse .jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java: 196) [MVEL] Notice: Possible incorrect version of ASM present (3.0 required). Disabling JIT compiler. Reflective Optimizer will be used. I had similar issue a number of weeks ago that never resolved, but subsequently have upgraded Eclipse to 3.3.2, running on OSX Leopard. I cannot locate a ASM library and obviously the error message is hinting at that. Any assistance will be appreciated. I hate proceeding without JUnit testing in place. - Mike
