essential 5 - null pointer error when publishing to viewer

[DeeDeeC]

I've tried the following under both OSX (java version "1.8.0_45") and Linux (openjvm 1.7)

Install protege, essentials, the essential viewer as per documentation.

If I just open the essential_baseline_v505.pprj and publish to essential viewer in single user mode, it works perfectly. If I try and publish the same repository when shared from Protege server, the following error is generated from Protege:

Caught the exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.enterprise_architecture.essential.xml.XMLRenderer.<init>(XMLRenderer.java:138)
...

Needless to say, the new Snapshots tab generates the same error.

I've tried with the repository both as a file, and as a mysql database.
