I can reproduce the same problem under dev build 201512240002. Given: assert (oldValue == null || oldValue.getType() == newValue.getType()): "oldValue: " + oldValue.getType() + ", newValue: " + newValue.getType(); Netbeans flags "oldValue.getType()" as "Dereferencing possible null pointer" but if "oldValue" is null then the "oldValue.getType()" is never executed. |
Boolean revertValue = revertMap != null ? (Boolean) revertMap.get(TEST) : null; if (Boolean.FALSE.equals(revertValue)) { revertMap.remove(TEST); } There is a hint on revertMap.remove(TEST); If revertMap is null, then this branch is never visited.
