Add the @Nullable annotation

It is all too easy to forget adding null-checks after calling the many methods possibly returning null in the JDT core dom API.

Adding @Nullable annotations and enabling compiler warnings in consumer projects would allow catching these simple mistakes right when the code is written.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
