Null pointer exception running CLI

[Tim Bond]

Jeremy,

Am getting a NPE running a newly downloaded/unzipped batch file . . .

C:\apps\depcheck-1.2.0\bin>dependency-check.bat
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.owasp.dependencycheck.utils.Settings.getString(Settings.java:464)

        at org.owasp.dependencycheck.cli.CliParser.printHelp(CliParser.java:449)

        at org.owasp.dependencycheck.App.run(App.java:93)
        at org.owasp.dependencycheck.App.main(App.java:61)

C:\apps\depcheck-1.2.0\bin>java -version
java version "1.7.0_55"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_55-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.55-b03, mixed mode)

Same behavior on Ubuntu as well.

Looking like settings is not getting initialized in App.java.  This works although might be a better location for the call.  Otherwise scanner is working great.  Thx

        if (cli.isGetVersion()) {

            cli.printVersionInfo();

        } else if (cli.isRunScan()) {

            populateSettings(cli);

            runScan(cli.getReportDirectory(), cli.getReportFormat(), cli.getApplicationName(), cli.getScanFiles());

        } else {

            populateSettings(cli);

            cli.printHelp();

Tim,

Thanks for reporting this oversight. Apparently I forgot to run my "release test" script prior to the 1.2.0 release... Sorry about that. I'll have an update published tonight.
