Dealing with NullPointerException

In some situations developers may run into nullPointerExceptions when using Verity-SDK. These can occur for the following reasons:

1. The correct version of VDR Tools is not installed. Please ensure that you have the latest version of libvdrtools installed on your system.
2. Your /tmp directory has been mounted noexec. To rectify this, change the exec command to

mvn exec:java -Djava.io.tmpdir=$PWD/target
