When ICompilationUnit.getMembers does not find any members, it returns null.

To be compliant to other API in core/jcore, it would be better to return empty 
arrays instead of null.

ICompilationUnit.getMembers
IType.findMethods

There is no method getMembers on ICompilationUnit. Which method are you talking 
about?

Closing as invalid.

Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann

sorry, It should say IWorkingCopy.findElements

other method is IType.findMethods

All find* methods in JDT/Core return null if they cannot find what they are 
looking for. So this is consistent with the rest of JDT/Core.
