Edit Question
Title
Body
Often I have a class as such: public class Foo { private String field1; private String field2; // etc etc etc } This makes the initial values of field1 and field2 equal to null. Would it be better to have all my String class fields as follows? public class Foo { private String field1 = ""; private String field2 = ""; // etc etc etc } Then, if I'm consistent with class definition I'd avoid a lot of null pointer problems. What are the problems with this approach?
