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. http://jenkins.jonqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com:9080/job/rhq-master-build-findbugs/19/findbugsResult/module.-496923596/ MikeT called this out as something he would like to address.
