NullPointer with Formatter about formatter-maven-plugin HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem seems to be your config file. It has an extra line that says:

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javaFormatter" value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.defaultJavaFormatter"/>

When I export my config from Eclipse, I don't see that field anywhere, so I'm not sure how it got into your config file. When I remove it, your config file works fine.

Doesn't look like a bug with a valid config file. Information provided.

When I exported it, that line did not exist. However, you may be using a different version of Eclipse... or you may have attempted to export all of the formatter configs into a single file, rather than exporting a single one. To export a single config, click the Edit button, and not the "Export All" button:

Then, inside that config's edit window, click Export
