[BUG] NullPointerException

[Riduidel]

Describe the bug
I tried to run depclean on a complex project I'm working on, and I get a NullPointerException. Unfortunatly, project can't be shared.

Any way, here is the stack trace

[omnine]

I got the same exception.

With mvn -e, I found the root cause. I used a property in the parent pom on groupId.

-            <groupId>${slf4j.groupId}</groupId>
+            <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>

After changing back, it worked.
