XiangzheXu updated JDO-780:
---------------------------
Description:
In class org.apache.jdo.exectck.Utilities, the method `printClasspath()` could
throw an unexpected NullPointerException.
The method is shown as follows.
```java
public void printClasspath() {
//Get the System Classloader
ClassLoader loader = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
//Get the URLs
URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader) loader).getURLs();
......
}
```
The invocation of `ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()` could return null in JDK
8, as is depicted in the Javadoc in its source code:
@return The system <tt>ClassLoader</tt> for delegation, or
<tt>null</tt> if none
If that is the case, the invocation to `getURLs()` could cause a
NullPointerException.
Maybe we could check for null pointer here or mention the potential
NullPointerException at the Javadoc?
