Deploying error: Text may not be null

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.ibm.cics:cics-bundle-maven-plugin:1.0.3-SNAPSHOT:deploy (default) on project cics-java-liberty-restapp: Execution default of goal com.ibm.cics:cics-bundle-maven-plugin:1.0.3-SNAPSHOT:deploy failed: Text may not be null -> [Help 1]

What does that mean ? It's not clear what it's complaining about...

Diagnosed by stew:

Ok the dependency from cics-bundle-maven-plugin wasn't updated to use the snapshot version of cics-bundle-common. If you could raise a defect Mike, that'd be great. Public repo is fine
