Please review the fix for [1] at [2]. This patch fixes a NPE produced at 
a lint warning checking that a class overriding ::equals should override 
::hashCode too. The thing is that if the class is an inexistent symbol 
then the method symbol returned by Types::implementation is null. The 
fix is checking for this null case,

Thanks,
Vicente
