Me estoy topando con unproblema de bloqueo con mi instalación (JDK 1.7). Básicamente tengo la siguiente NPE:

Sospecho fuertemente que está relacionado con el siguiente error:ver informe aquí

Estoy desesperadamentebuscando una solución. Tenga en cuenta que no he tocado la instalación jdk. No he añadido ni quitado ningún juego de caracteres ...

¿Alguien puede ayudar?

editar 1: Ver otro informe de erroresaquí y note el "por alguna razón" ...

editar 2: Tengo más información sobre el tema anterior: He agregado el siguiente caso de pruebaen un proyecto separado:

package pack;

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Set;

public class TestCase {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Set set = Charset.availableCharsets().keySet();
        for (Iterator iterator = set.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
            String s = (String) iterator.next();
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    }
}

Me di cuenta de que el caso de pruebacorre sin ningún error!

Ahora cuando agrego elMuy mismo caso de prueba para nuestro proyecto. (construido con maven), me encuentro con la misma NPE:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at java.nio.charset.Charset.put(Charset.java:550)
    at java.nio.charset.Charset.access$300(Charset.java:276)
    at java.nio.charset.Charset$4.run(Charset.java:593)
    at java.nio.charset.Charset$4.run(Charset.java:585)
    at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
    at java.nio.charset.Charset.availableCharsets(Charset.java:584)
    at pack.TestCase.main(TestCase.java:9)

Por lo tanto sospecho que podría serrelacionado con nuestra configuración de maven. Cualquiera tiene alguna pista de lo que podría causar este problema de Charset en unconfiguración multimodular maven?

editar 3: El POM efectivo es demasiado largo. Aquí está el pastebin para ello:pastebin aquí

editar 4: Me las arreglé para señalar la dependencia problemática. Aquí está:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sybase</groupId>
    <artifactId>jconn4</artifactId>
    <version>7.07.GA</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Al eliminar esta dependencia, el TestCase se ejecuta correctamente e imprime todos los conjuntos de caracteres disponibles. Sin embargo, necesitamos un controlador de base de datos para nuestra aplicación. ¿Alguien tiene alguna idea de lo que está mal con el controlador sybase jdbc?
