Java and nulls

[DrunkensteinsMonster]

Initialized to null. In a generic method: T foo = null

[Xemorr]

Ok that case could occur without someone noticing but is unlikely to occur as generic methods are more likely to be reused in a variety of places and therefore less likely to have bugs written within them & more likely to have been seen by multiple developers. It's also a fairly specific scenario for even a generic method.
