The NPE is caused by the following bug - embedded broker startup errors
do not throw an exception
http://java.net/jira/browse/MQ-106
For the "Loopback IP address" exception, to clarify what Nigel
mentioned below for the likely cause of it:
Some Linux installers automatically set the mahine hostname to loopback
network address, e.g. in /etc/hosts, something like
127.0.1.1 myhostname
Please see GlassFish MQ Administration Guide for what to do to correct
the system configuration
