That’s because `NULL` in ReferenceQueue.java refers to the singleton object `ReferenceQueue.NULL`, not the null value. See the long comment at the top of Reference.java for an explanation. To improve this you could change mentions of `NULL` in the comments to `ReferenceQueue.NULL`, but changing them to `null` would be incorrect. > 8203327: Small cleanups in java.lang.ref > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/jdk/Reference-cleanup/ > https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203327 The other changes look fine. - Mark
