@NotNull annotation being triggered from incorrect call

When attempting to create my first build plan from a fresh compile of Bamboo 2.6 and 2.6.1, I was met with a stacktrace describing a @NotNull violation when I submitted the form asking for the project and build names/keys – with a blank description. It did not continue the plan creation.

It pointed to line 40 of com.atlassian.bamboo.project.DefaultProjectManager under the "createProject(@NotNull String key, @NotNull String name)" method. This method dispatches to the 3-parameter "createProject(@NotNull String key, @NotNull String name, @NotNull String description)" – however it sends null as the value for description.

I changed the method to send in "" instead of null and that issue went away.
