Hence you are using XXE v7.4 which includes FOP 2.1.
and tried to convert a composite DocBook5 document
to PDF, getting a NullPointerException related to the
LineBreakingAlgorithm (see the trace below).
Yes, it's:

CAUSE:
java.lang.NullPointerException

org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.inline.LineLayoutManager$LineBreakingAlgorithm.updateData2(LineLayoutManager.java:404)

The document is valid and I can convert it to PDF using the Oxygen XML
Editor (an older version with an older version of FOP).
OK.
Do you have any idea/advice what I can do about this problem?
Yes, it's a FOP bug which was supposed to have been fixed in the version
included with XXE. See for example:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2511
This bug is almost certainly triggered by something specific to your
DocBook5 document (because we routinely convert many large, complex
DocBook5 documents to PDF without any problem.)
Please be kind enough to send me (privately: huss...@xmlmind.com) an
archive (.zip, .tar.gz) containing all the files comprising your
document. Of course, we'll not disclose your document, but this step is
really needed to reproduce and fix the bug.
--> A possible workaround for this bug may be to pass to the conversion
process parameter alignment=left (by default, it's alignment=justify).
See http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/alignment.html
This can be done very easily, once for all, from within XXE, as
explained in this FAQ:
---
How do I customize the HTML, PDF, RTF, etc, generated using the "Convert
Document" menu?

I'm happy that the conversion to RTF works because this is the main
reason I've bought XXE.
Conversion to RTF is implemented by our XMLmind XSL-FO Converter, not by
FOP.
