I mean `getAccessibleChild(..., 1)` can still return null (when both `if`s of 
`case 1` resolve to false). Let's consider the following code:

public void doSmthWith(JComponent component, BasicComboBoxUI ui) {
    if (ui.getAccessibleChildrenCount(component) > 1) {
        // well, we have at least 2 components, so we can expect to get a valid 
object below
        final var ac = ui.getAccessibleChild(component, 1)
                                  .getAccessibleContext(); // <= possible NPE
        // ...
    }
}


I think we have to return 1 from `getAccessibleChildrenCount(...)` for the 
cases when `getAccessibleChild(..., 1)` returns `null`
