NullPointerException on filtered class

[anishakamble]

Hello,

First of all, just started using OpenPojo and it's been great so far -- thank you so much.

So the issue I'm having is this: I'm calling the validate method like so: validator.validate(packageName, new FilterClassName("^((?!com.xyz.masterdata.model.contact.relationship.ContactMechanism).)*$"), new FilterEnum());

The class is successfully being filtered out, as I can see when I println the following: PojoClassFactory.getPojoClasses(packageName, new FilterClassName("^((?!com.xyz.masterdata.model.contact.relationship.ContactMechanism).)*$"))

However, the hashCode() method of the ContactMechanism class is still throwing a NullPointerException when I run the test, which is causing the test to fail.

Why is the validator still going over the filtered class? I cannot change the hashCode() method. How do I stop the validator from throwing this exception? If I catch the exception, does this ensure that ALL the other classes in the package will be tested? Or will the validation get interrupted?

Thank you for your interest in OpenPojo. The validator shouldn't see any filtered classes as they get filtered out first. Can you please attach a sample failing code?
