Today Jeff and I changed the way Java programs detect when a NullValueException should be thrown. There are a few places where null checks are still missing. If there's a bug in your EGL code, the generated Java may give you a Java NullPointerException, not an EGL NullValueException.

This problem causes some failures in the EUnits. I opened a bug Bug 382781 - EUnit variations fail due to missing null checks and I hope to have it fixed soon.
