I am using Java 1.7, Eclipse 3.7 with the FindBugs plugin from the marketplace. The example is as nice as heaven:
class Application
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
System.out.println( "Bla" );
}
}
This message was not present in the past and the internal implementation was always in System:
public final static PrintStream out = null;
So Findbugs IS right, but did something change that the message occur now?
Because in java 6 it looked like this:
public final static PrintStream out = nullPrintStream();
/**
* The following two methods exist because in, out, and err must be
* initialized to null. The compiler, however, cannot be permitted to
* inline access to them, since they are later set to more sensible values
* by initializeSystemClass().
*/
private static PrintStream nullPrintStream() throws NullPointerException {
if (currentTimeMillis() > 0) {
return null;
}
throw new NullPointerException();
}
so I guess they simplified it in java 7 and added some exceptions to the compiler.
JVM manages out, in, and err in native code, so this error message it gives is pointless.
