Maven deployment plugin NullPointerException

[#1]

We have an environment name which has a hyphen in it i.e. (test-region)

When using that in Maven command i.e.

mvn apigee-enterprise:deploy -Ptest-region -Dusername= -Dpassword=

We are getting following exception :

Is this an issue with the Maven plugin ?

We tried escaping - and added single & double quotes around it. But still were getting NullPointerException

[#2 · Accepted solution]

This issue has been resolved by fixing the problem in the pom file with few corrections in the profile setup

@sankar.sekar , Glad to know this has been resolved, Would you like to post more details regarding fix so that it will be helpful for others too ? What was the setup before fix & what changes done to fix the issue ? Thank you in advance.

@Swapnil Raverkar, I am facing this same issue. Can you please post some details on how this issue got fixed? Thanks

@MNarayan

In this case, the issue was with pom.xml where the profile is not configured correctly. In the above error,it clearly says that test-region doesn't exist. If you are using the maven deployment plugin, then you need to make an entry in shared-pom.xml with the relevant profile details.

Please share some details about what exactly the issue you are facing to get more insight.
