What could be causing the following error from the Jazz Build Engine?

TIA,

Accepting changes into workspace "Server's Workspace for Automated Builds" ...

Thanks nedgar. We found out this was due to a file committed from a Mac whose name contained a colon; file creation failed on Windows. So mea culpa! :-)

Could JBE output a message indicating which file is causing a problem, instead of throwing a NullPointerException? This would sure be more helpful.

I've filed 95644: NPE in MergeLoadMutator.execute when file name contains illegal character for improving the error handling here, and subscribed you and tonio.

Note that this is a general SCM issue (i.e. could also be encountered when loading a workspace in the IDE), not specific to JBE.

Thanks, Nick. That's true; we probably would have spotted the problem before, had we used a regular Windows machine with it other than the headless build server.
