[Scenario] NPE when trying to view Timeline made with older version of plugin

[VWoeltjen]

Observed hackathon 8/16/2013

Attempting to open an older timeline ("Integrated Timeline (partial)" in the hackathon db) causes a NPE to be thrown and a grey screen to be displayed.

Cursory investigation suggests that the "type" field of the activity is null (as these activities were created before the addition of a "type" field), but this is not checked by ActivityView before drawing. Easiest fix is to modify getType() in the activity component such that it never returns null.

java.lang.NullPointerException
