Error description
Product: Rational Application Developer 7.5.4 Rational Software Architect for WebSphere 7.5.4 Problem description: When running ANT tasks via runAnt.bat, and executing an ANT scri pt that invokes tasks like: workspaceBuild projectBuild projectSetBuild it is possible to observe NullPointerExceptions in the workspace .log, as a result of the fact that validation jobs have not bee n able to complete execution before the workbench shuts down.
Local fix
Problem summary
When Ant task are invoked which perform any type of build then all validation tasks will occur in a background job (thread). As a result the ant task execution continues on to the next task while the background validation is still running. If there are no additional tasks then the Ant launcher terminates and may leave the workspace in a bad state as a result of the validators being forcefully stopped.
Problem conclusion
The Ant launcher will now wait indefinitely for all background jobs to complete before terminating. All build tasks will also wait for any validation jobs to finish before the task is complete. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in Rational Application Developer fixpack V7.5.5.1.
