Unable to run standalone 0.1.2-snapshot on windows

[mooreds]

So, downloaded the 01.2-SNAPSHOT.jar file. Trying to run it on Windows 7 with java 8:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)

Both from bash and from the cmd prompt, I get a null pointer exception:

I get a similar error when running it in lint mode.

Could you try instead to clone the project and run:

lein jar
java -jar effectivejava-0.1.3-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar -l -d "<myJavaProjectDir>"

?

version 0.1.2 is a bit old, I do not remember if I built it as an uberjar (i.e., including all the dependencies, including JavaParser). Probably I should remove it from the repository. I would do that after publishing the next version to clojars and maven central

I get the same error in Linux when executing java -jar effectivejava-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar

[ftomassetti]

ok, we are definitely going to remove that old version and provide uberjar separately (not in the repository)

[ftomassetti]

we removed the releases directory.
We will add releases file on GitHub and then close this issue.

[ftomassetti]

The old release (broken) was removed. The new one (0.1.3) is available at https://github.com/ftomassetti/effectivejava/releases please let me know if you are experiencing problem with it. Feel free to open a new issue in that case.

Thank you for reporting this error!
