NullPointer Exception when importing into burp about awssigner HOT 5 CLOSED

I can build and import the jar file into Burp just fine. I'm building the jar file as an artifact in IntelliJ and it's been working for me. Are you building it with gradle from the command line?

from awssigner.

Yes i am building it with gradle from the command line.

from awssigner.

As far as i understood, IntelliJ defines the UI components in /src/main/java/burp/TabPanel.form and uses this file during the building process.
But gradle cannot interpret this file, hence, the components are uninitialized in BurpExtender.java

From my understanding, all you need to do is to configure IntelliJ (like shown in the stackoverflow comment) to write down the UI component definition into the java source code. By this, gradle will able to build the extension properly, after including

dependencies {
    compile 'com.intellij:forms_rt:7.0.3'
}

in the gradle.build file

from awssigner.

It should be building correctly now. I had to add that dependency in conjunction with converting the form files to java source instead of them being binaries.

from awssigner.

Now a new error occurs, after importing it into burp
