At this time, the `NullPointerException`(NPE) occurs and all the other work, including that the `deferredDiagnosticHandler` report the errors to users, would not be done. So the user would see the NPE and see that the compiler crashes.

But because the `deferredDiagnosticHandler` is not set without the annotation processor, some other errors would be shown immediately to users and the NPE is not shown when using [these catch code](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/0849117d5c3a9ae12231262fc0d3366a6e8a458d/src/jdk.compiler/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/main/Main.java#L349).
