The Long Goodbye to NullPointerException - Eclipse Tools and Solutions

Eclipse Foundation via YouTube

Overview

Watch a 44-minute conference talk from EclipseCon 2022 exploring the ongoing challenges of eliminating null pointer exceptions (NPEs) in software development. Dive into Stephan Herrmann's follow-up presentation to his 2011 "Bye-bye NPE" talk, examining why NPE detection during compilation remains incomplete and no standard solution has emerged. Learn about recent tooling improvements, including enhanced heuristic knowledge for null detection, improved safety measures when null-annotated code interacts with legacy code, and practical options for managing external annotations across multiple artifacts. Gain practical insights into gradually reducing NullPointerException risks in your codebase through available tools and techniques.
