Javac NPE

[Vicente-Arturo Romero-Zaldivar]

Hi Benji,

I closed the bug because it couldn't be reproduced with last javac code 
for 8 and 9 (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u-dev/langtools and 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/langtools/). If you can still 
reproduce the bug with any of these repos please notify it to us.

Thanks,
Vicente
