Comment 1 Benno Baumgartner CLA 2008-03-03 10:19:56 EST 
Sorry, that was too quick

I20080226-1155

Given:
public class Foo {
	public void foo() {
		StringBuffer b1 = null;
		if (bar()) {
			b1= new StringBuffer();
		}
		b1.append(true);
	}

	private boolean bar() {
		return false;
	}
}

1. Quick fix at b1: Potential null pointer access: The variable b1 may be null at this location
Is:
 Add suppress warning is the only available quick fix (pretty useless)
Should:
 'Add null check' with result:

StringBuffer b1 = null;
if (b1 != null) {
   b1.append(true);
}
