Description Mike Foley 2013-07-30 14:41:55 UTC

Description of problem:  ConfigurationEditor.java:1085, NP_NULL_ON_SOME_PATH, Priority: High

Additional info:

ConfigurationEditor.java:1085, NP_NULL_ON_SOME_PATH, Priority: High
Possible null pointer dereference of propertyList in org.rhq.enterprise.gui.coregui.client.components.configuration.ConfigurationEditor.buildSummaryRecords(PropertyList, List)

There is a branch of statement that, if executed, guarantees that a null value will be dereferenced, which would generate a NullPointerException when the code is executed. Of course, the problem might be that the branch or statement is infeasible and that the null pointer exception can't ever be executed; deciding that is beyond the ability of FindBugs.

MikeT called this out as something he would like to address.
