      When using the empy-webapp as foundation for any project, the resource-loader module throws an NPE exception upon install. The actual install is not affected.

      Stacktrace:

      How to reproduce

      Do a clean install using the empty-webapp (and additionally excluding all lang-modules from the webapp).

      Source of the problem

      During installation SecuritySupport might not yet be available and therefore is replaced with info.magnolia.cms.security.SecuritySupportObservedComponentFactory.InitPhaseSecuritySupportImpl. This implementation doesn't have an InitPhaseRoleManager so giving access to superuser role (as part of the installation of the module) fails, as the returned role manager is null (see info.magnolia.module.delta.SetupModuleRepositoriesTask#grantRepositoryToSuperuser(String) which is part of every DefaultModuleVersionHandler).

      Adding such an InitPhaseRoleManager solves the NPE, but also doesn't properly execute the task, i.e. superuser doesn't have explicit access to the resources workspace after the installation (superuser has access to it thought, only the explicit ACL is missing in the role).

      Additional info

      It is not yet clear which module addition to the webapp solves the problem (by being installed after core and before resources-module) as the problem doesn't seem to be occuring in community-webapp.
