If we require an object parameter to be non-null our methods test for this and 
throw an IllegalArgumentException (note that we don't throw a 
NullPointerException). Perhaps the same could apply in Ant?

        - removed unused imports
        - changed <CODE> to <code>
        
        On a related note:
        Parameter x must not be <code>null</code>
        
        Wouldn't it make sense to throw some kind of exception if parameter x
        was null?  At the beginning of the method, not later on when some other
        method tries something and gets hit with a NullPointerException.
        
        Some thoughts
