NullPointerException when pointing USFM/USX import to file instead of directory about biblemulticonverter HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for the bug report. I need to make it clearer that USFM import (as well as USX) requires you to give the directory with .usfm files as input parameter (it is mentioned in the help text for the import filter, but throwing NullPointerException is not nice anyway).

So, instead of this

java -jar BibleMultiConverter/biblemulticonverter/target/BibleMultiConverter-0.0-SNAPSHOT-dist/BibleMultiConverter.jar USFM 00_Bible/03_Genesis.usfm QuickBible out.yet

try this

java -jar BibleMultiConverter/biblemulticonverter/target/BibleMultiConverter-0.0-SNAPSHOT-dist/BibleMultiConverter.jar USFM 00_Bible QuickBible out.yet

and it will create you a YET file for the whole bible (not only Genesis). I tested it with a directory with just Genesis in it, and it worked for me.

I will leave this issue open to track the required changes to return a proper error message instead.

Thank you for the solution to this problem so it no longer crashes.
