error when running JiGLE

[DaClyde]

After downloading about 5 new county mappacks, JiGLE started giving me this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Double.parseDouble(Unknown Source)
at JiGLE.makeMapPack(JiGLE.java:92)
at JiGLE.loadProperties(JiGLE.java:284)
at JiGLE.<init>(JiGLE.java:168)
at JiGLE.main(JiGLE.java:105)


Need any other information from me to figure this out?

That sounds like it's running into problems parsing the mappack properties file, so the generated mappack might not be happy. Could you tell me which mappacks you have downloaded? In the mean time i'll start looking for ones that might be bad. Should probably make the parser less brittle as well.

At least these two; the mappack files were blank.

This one only shows up as 192 bytes on the State download page.

I've regenerated these MapPacks, they seem ok now. I added some code to retry the RiGLE generation if the .mappack file is 0 bytes, hopefully that'll prevent this in the future (the java vm crashes sometimes playing with these large amounts of data).

Thank you, sir, that makes a world of difference!
