    Description

      Running the Maven build with -X, I get the following stack trace from Maven:

      [ERROR] Error executing Maven.
      java.lang.NullPointerException

      The underlying problem in my build is a custom plugin that fails to resolve an artifact. I can solve this, but clearly NPEs in Maven's error handling code is not good. I can see the original exception by putting in an explicit try-catch in the plugin:

      org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: Error resolving project artifact: Could not find artifact org.oclc.merlins.service-directory:service-directory-api:pom:1.16.0 for project org.oclc.merlins.service-directory:service-directory-api:pom:1.16.0
