<Swing Dev> [9] Review fix for JDK-8020039 : SynthTableHeaderUI refers to possibly null parameter in cell renderer

[Miguel Munoz]

It would seem to me that if the table is null, you have a bug in another class. Is there a valid reason for the table to be null? I would guess not.

In my experience, many null checks are either unnecessary or only serve to hide bugs. Steve Maguire writes about this in his book Writing Solid Code.

 Hi,

    Goods finding Sergey.

    1. In file, src/java.desktop/macosx/classes/com/apple/laf/AquaTableHeaderUI.java, call to setText() and setBorder() should be made irrespective of whether table in null or not. I have made this change.
    2. The changes to SynthTableHeaderUI.java are correct. We cannot assume a table property (enabled) when table is null. 
        A call to super. getTableCellRendererComponent() is already made from this method which in turn calls setText() and setBorder().

    Please review updated webrev : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~arapte/ajit/8020039/webrev.03/

Ajit

Hi, Hello Ajit.
I am not sure that exclusion of the code is a correct fix here. For example can you clarify should we call setText(or other setXXX) when the table is null or not? Another question is: should we skip the code in SynthTableHeaderUI.java or we can assume table==null as enabled table?
