We got problem with Harmony on IBM VM on Windows. java.lang.String.replaceFirst throws NPE.
Here is the testcase: public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) { String xx = "test"; xx = xx.replaceFirst("t","z"); } } Here is the stack trace: C:\Work\Harmony\Sources\Harmony\deploy\jre\bin>java Test Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.String.replaceFirst(String.java:1642) at Test.main(Test.java:4) Since IBM VM is not an OpenSource I can not check java.lang.String for the cause of this problem :( Can we ask IBM guys somehow to fix this issue? -- Alexey A.
