The parameter `RuleFunction rf` in `ActionTranslater#translateActionChunk` may be `null`.
The method's implementation takes care of this by checking `rf` before making its `ruleCtx` the translator's nodeContext:
```
if ( rf!=null ) translator.nodeContext = rf.ruleCtx;
```
However in the statement following this code the check for `rf!=null` is missing. This will lead to a `NullPointerException` when `altLabel` is defined and `rf` is `null`:
```
if ( altLabel!=null ) translator.nodeContext = rf.altLabelCtxs.get(altLabel);
```
To avoid the problem only access `rf.altLabelCtxs` when `rf` is not null:
```
if ( rf!=null ) {
translator.nodeContext = rf.ruleCtx;
if ( altLabel!=null ) translator.nodeContext = rf.altLabelCtxs.get(altLabel);
}
```
After loading and casting the parserClass in TestRig#process using
`cl.loadClass(parserName).asSubclass(Parser.class)` there is a check if
the class returned by `#asSubclass` is not null:
```
parserClass = cl.loadClass(parserName).asSubclass(Parser.class);
if ( parserClass==null ) {
System.err.println("Can't load "+parserName);
}
```
The method `#asSubclass` will never return `null`, but throw an
`ClassCastException` when the cast is not valid, therefore the check
can be removed.

The `selectedTree.getSelectionPath()` return null if nothing is selected.
Added check to avoid NPE:
