APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a rule is missing the condition part, the explorer shows
  the rule in error but when the ruleset is generated, the
  analysis report does not point to the condition missing part and
  instead shows an NPE stack.
  
  
  
  With a large project, it can become very hard to trace which
  rule is causing this problem.
  
  Can we get more info in the output? It currently shows this
  stack trace:
  
  
  
  Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
