[protege-discussion] server fails to start when project lacks of location information in the metaproject.pprj

[Luis Bermudez]

All,

I am trying protege server application (3.4 Beta) in a MAC OS  
10.4.10. If there is a project in the metaproject.pprj without a  
Location the server will not start. I got this error:

SEVERE: server startup failed -- java.lang.NullPointerException

Maybe it should only display a warning message in the console.
