After checking the src, I can guess why – it must be javac is null.
419 JavaCompiler javac = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
420 JavaFileManager jfm = javac.getStandardFileManager(

As stated in the page in http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11934, “This sample required JDK(not JRE) 6 and VMware VI (vSphere) Java API.”

Most likely you were using JRE, or JDK for running this.

Steve,

Any reason why the severity is skipped from the Event object? in our NMS tool we need to set the severity for each event, and i was planning to have it same as your Enum – EventEventSeverity. we are currently processing 87 Events, it would be tough to parse the event name to get the severity.

is it possible to add severity to the event object?

Thanks
Vishal
