Description: While creating EAR, the buildear utility throws "NullPointerException".
Symptoms: NullPointerException is thrown while building the EAR file through the command line.
Cause: The problem is caused due to a missing directory in the Classpath. To
resolve this issue, you should modify <TRA_Home>\bin\buildear.tra
and update "tibco.env.TIBCO_PS_LIB_HOME".
Old Value: tibco.env.TIBCO_PS_LIB_HOME=C:/tibco/ps/5.2/hotfix/lib;C:/tibco/ps/5.2/lib
Change to: tibco.env.TIBCO_PS_LIB_HOME=C:/tibco/ps/5.2/hotfix/lib;C:/tibco/ps/5.2/lib;C:/tibco/ps/5.2/archive
Make sure "%TIBCO_PS_LIB_HOME% is specified in tibco.env.CUSTOM_CP_EXT in the buildear.tra file. Now when running buildear.exe, it will not throw the NPE and the EAR will be created.
