Better exception handling of org.reflections.vfs.DefaultUrlTypes.bundle.createDir() #171

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The method org.reflections.vfs.DefaultUrlTypes.bundle.createDir() handles all 
possible problems with returning null.
Possible problems are:
- org.eclipse.equinox.common not in class path -> ClassNotFoundException
- org.eclipse.equinox.common not started -> InvocationTargetException with 
NullPointerException as target (source of NullPointerException is 
org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.Activator.java returning null in getContext()
- resolve() itself returns null (for any reason)

Please distinguish between these cases so it is easier to understand, why 
createDir() returns null.

Thanks

DefaultUrlTypes.bundle.createDir() _doesn't_ eat the exception and return null.
Vfs.fromURL would log.error in case of failure, and silently try the next 
VfsType - in that case look at the logs.

It got fixed in 0.9.9.RC2 (I was using RC1 when writing this issue)
Thanks a lot.
