Bug 153351

One feature I miss from IntelliJ and Eclipse is the null pointer access and redundant null check warnings.

Example code:
[code]
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String test = null;
        test.startsWith("oops");
        if(test != null) {
            test.endsWith("oops");
        }
    }

}
[/code]

In NetBeans this code produces no warnings. However in Eclipse, this code produces two warnings. The first points out
that "test" in "test.startsWith("oops");" is accessing a null object and thus shows a warning about a looming nullpointer. 

The second points out "test" in "if(test != null) {" as a redundant null check since I've already used test above the
"if" check as if it wasn't null.

I really miss this feature since it helps keep the code clean, and I'd love to see this in NetBeans.

Thanks,
Eric
