the image of Steven as GLaDOS is the SU fanart of mine with the most notes, despite it being a 30 minute sketch. so here, have some potato Scientific Testing EValuator and Executor Network + Connie.
(yeah i know it's not actually Steven without the human component. be quiet; this is an AU.)

Why catching NullPointerException is considered Bad Practice
Do you catch NullPointerException or have you swallowed Exceptions by simply catching them and doing nothing. Have you wondered whether to throw an Exception or to catch it before it reaches the parent method. As a general rule, catching any RuntimeException is almost always a code smell. Probably, you could look after your code or…

MATLAB Crashes on Mac OS X Yosemite Bug Fix (Bug Report 1098655)
Summary
Java® Exception and abrupt exit on Mac OS X version 10.10 Yosemite
Description
When running MATLAB on Mac OS X version 10.10 Yosemite, the following Java exception is reported:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.mathworks.widgets.WindowsWidgetFactory
$SearchAndClearButton.anyText(WindowsWidgetFactory.java:187)
at com.mathworks.widgets.WindowsWidgetFactory
$SearchAndClearButton.getIcon(WindowsWidgetFactory.java:195)
at com.apple.laf.AquaButtonUI.setThemeBorder(AquaButtonUI.java:113)
at com.apple.laf.AquaButtonUI.installDefaults(AquaButtonUI.java:80)
at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicButtonUI.installUI(BasicButtonUI.java:88)
at javax.swing.JComponent.setUI(JComponent.java:664)

Following this, MATLAB may exit abruptly.
Workaround
For MATLAB R2012a through R2014a only.
To install this patch, you need the name and password of an account with Administrator privileges.
Download the appropriate patch file for the version of MATLAB you wish to patch.
Look for the file in your Downloads folder, the Desktop, or wherever your Web browser saves downloaded files.
If your Web browser did not unzip the patch file for you, double-click the file in the Finder to unzip it.
Double-click the .dmg file to mount the disk image.
At the top level of the mounted disk image is an application such as R2014a_patch_1098655.app. Double-click to launch it.
Select your MATLAB installation. Select the root folder of the install, for example, MATLAB_R2014a.app.
Enter the name and password of an account with Administrator privileges.
New Java class files will be installed in the java/patch/com/mathworks/widgets folder of your MATLAB installation.
When the upgrade is complete, you can launch MATLAB.
Fix
This bug was fixed as of R2014b(8.4).

When you create an object and not initializing it with any reference the object remain null.it means nothing .
Null is not a valid object instance, so there is no memory allocated for it. It is simply a value that indicates that the object reference is not currently referring to an object.
When you are working on large scale Java application, you will encounter one or many exceptions like below. This blog summarizes what I have experienced so far and may not cover all scenarios.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
The exception happens when you are trying to invoke a method that is not present in target class. The exception is prominent if your application is using reflection API. If reflection was not used, then it could be that partial build was deployed. You had compiled your Java class with a bunch of dependent classes but at some point in time dependent classes were modified (methods removed or changed) and deployed independently.
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
It happens when you are directly or indirectly using reflection in your application. This exception is more visible if you are using Axis or any Web Services where bean marshalling and unmarshalling happen via reflection API. The exception can be tricky to resolve because the original exception is wrapped in InvocationTargetException. You probably want to get handle of target exception by calling getTargetException() on InvocationTargetException object and analyze it.
java.lang.IllegalAccessException
Again it happens when you are using reflection in your application at runtime. Your code is trying to access method or member variable that are out of reach (e.g. private, protected) and should not be allowed to access. I think this class should be part of reflect package along with InvocationTargetException.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
This one can be really easy or extremely tricky to figure out. The classloader cannot find the class it is looking for. You need to first check the obvious places like your classpath and jar files where your class supposed to reside. Check your reflection code as well.
The trickiness comes if you are in J2EE environment with multiple classloaders. For example you have parent-first classloader setting in your appserver configuration. Your EAR file has class A which is referenced by class B in parent classloader, then class A cannot be found and ClassNotFoundException will be thrown. So in this case, even if you have class A present in your classpath, it cannot be found by classloader.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Technically this is an error not an exception. At runtime, the class you are trying to load is not found or class definition is not correct (similar to linkage error in C/C++). It could be you have given invalid class name or the class itself is not there. You should check your classpath settings. It could also be triggered by ClassNotFoundException meaning if Test.java was using Test2.java and once compiled if you remove Test2.class at runtime, then Test.class would complain the following
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Test2 at Test.main(Test.java:7)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Test2
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
The difference between ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundError is very confusing because there is no clear separation between the two. If you read various posts online, you will find ClassNotFoundEception and NoClassDefFoundError clear in its own domain but they can be quite confusing when you think about them on your own. If someone asks you the difference between the two in an interview, then consider yourself in trouble.
So I'm having some sort of issue with Java. My old laptop ran shimejis like a champ, but my new one (an HP) seems not to like Java. I downloaded it, but every time I try to use a shimeji, it tells me that "a Java Exception has occurred". I literally have NO IDEA what this means. I've googled it, and apparently I am really stupid because I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WANTS ME TO DO TO FIX IT. If anyone has ANY idea how to fix it, or even WHAT IT IS, and can explain it to me so I can understand, would you help me? Leave me an ask or just answer, please! I would really, really appreciate it!
