RFR: JDK-8344907 : NullPointerException in Win32ShellFolder2.getSystemIcon when "icon" is null

Win32ShellFolder2.getSystemIcon() can result in NPE if icon is null. Sanity null checks have been added.


long hIcon = getSystemIcon(iconType.getIconID()); //Can return null
Image icon = makeIcon(hIcon); // returns null if the condition (hIcon != 0L && hIcon != -1L) is false
if (LARGE_ICON_SIZE != icon.getWidth(null)) { // NullPointerException -- icon is null


Occurs when Windows is unable to provide a system icon and the code assumes an icon will **always** be returned, but the Windows API makes no such guarantee.

getSystemIcon calls LoadIcon (User32.dll). This can return null.
