NullPointerException in some cases

[kkv4all]

In some cases the code getUserData("lineNumber") is returning null and throwing NullPointerException as toString() is called like below
idElement.getUserData("lineNumber").toString();
I have fixed it in by replacing it by type casting like below
(String)codeElement.getUserData("lineNumber")

Also looking forward to contribute in this Repo. let me know if it is possible

Please refer the permalink below:

Line 59 in 97e0fce

code.setLineNumber(codeElement.getUserData("lineNumber").toString());

Hi Kushal,

Thanks for finding the NPE. There's no reason why you can't make a PR, and then one of use can reproduce the issue, and decide if the solution is appropriate, and merge. So in effect you can certainly contribute. Since this particular project is not updated often, I wouldn't expect even large ideas to have conflicts. At the same time though, I can't guarantee things will be implemented/merged quickly.
We only have one branch on this project, so forking master, making the update, and making a PR from your master to ours would be all that is required.

Thanks,
Dan
