Nullpointerexception when running testsuite via Ant task

Question

I get a NullPointerException when trying to execute a testsuite via a commandline Ant task.
The Nullpointerexception is occuring at the line:
oracle.v2.parser.DOMLocator.getSystemId()
Here the full trace of the execution (debug)

I had this same issue, and after almost a month, finally found the solution...
The <bpletest> task needs reference to an xls like:
<!-- xsl="${bpel.home}/system/console/xslt/bpeltest-junit.xsl" was missing from <bpeltest> declaration -->
<!-- "bpeltest" target runs deployed testsuites of a BPEL process -->
<target name="bpelTest">
<echo>
| Executing BPEL Tests Process ${process.name} on:
|
| * user="${admin.user}" password="${admin.password}"
| * hostname="${http.hostname}" httpport="${http.port}"
| * domain="${domain}" process="${process.name}"
| * rev="${rev}" name="${process.name}Tests"
| * timeout="${bpeltest.timeout}"
| * numWorkers="${bpeltest.numWorkers}"
| * minCoverage="${bpeltest.minCoverage}"
| * callHandler="${bpeltest.callHandler}"
| * context="${bpel.context.properties}"
