NullPointerException at hudson.plugins.campfire.Room.speak(Room.java:29)

[baob]

This happens consistently in only one of our jenkins jobs. Can't figure out what's unique about that job that's causing the failure, it's certainly using the default (global config) room just like all the others.

Thoughts ?

Aha! Andy, you seem to be an excellent candidate for maintaining this now. Neither @thickpaddy nor I use Campfire any more, and I don't use Jenkins because I'm a cowboy these days.

Well volunteered, sir!

... aaaand a restart of the Jenkins daemon cures the problem. Which means there's no hurry for a fix at all.

@mortice I have started using campfire again, but still no CI server, yeah! rollin', rollin', rollin', rawhide!

We have java devs here ... if it gets to be a problem I'll see if I can get one of them interested :)
