JDeveloper, SOA Suite, File Adapter, Native Format Builder: Unable to generate native format

Still investigating the issue.... how frustrating....wasted one hour on this....

I was unimpressed by the MFL in Eclipse/OSB spitting NullPointerException when the input data contains "invalid" characters, but now NFB is also putting my patience at test....

It turned out that, when you let the wizard decide the field names and types, it leaves the last one undefined - in case it was empty in the sample file. If you manually set the type to string. the wizard is able to complete successfully. What a great error handling!
