Thumb up.

+1.

I also really like requireNonNull. To me its less verbose, cleaner, and the intent is easily understood.

The jtreg tags/comments look a little funny, but shouldn't cause a problem. Typically we something like ( note the extra stars! ).

/* @test
 * @bug 7160242
 * @summary Check if NullPointerException is thrown if the key passed
 *          to remove() is null.
 */

Anyway, looks like you are good to push.

Can you also point out what advantage using Object.requireNonNull has
over simply doing a key == null check as I was doing before?

Josh Bloch words are better than mine:

Hi Kurchi,
Object.requireNonNull() return the first argument,
so there is no need to store it again in key.
So instead of

key = Objects.requireNonNull(key, "Specified key cannot be null");

you can just write:

Objects.requireNonNull(key, "Specified key cannot be null");

or if you want to reuse the return value (it's less readable in my
opinion)
you can write :

file.removeKeyFromNode(path,
Objects.requireNonNull(key, "Specified key cannot be null"));

but usually, this feature is used in constructor,
something like this :

class Person {
...
public Person(String name) {
this.name = Objects.requireNonNull(name);
}
}

cheers,
Rémi

Hi,

This change inserts a null check for the key being passed to
Preferences.remove() on Mac, so that
the method throws a NullPointerException when key is null
(according to its specification).

Kurchi - would you be able to add a test to test/java/util/prefs
so that we have coverage for this case?

-Alan.

Also you can use Objects.requireNonNull()
