Eclipse bug? Switching on a null with only default case
- by polygenelubricants
I was experimenting with enum, and I found that the following compiles and runs fine on Eclipse (Build id: 20090920-1017, not sure exact compiler version):
public class SwitchingOnAnull {
enum X { ,; }
public static void main(String[] args) {
X x = null;
switch(x) {
default: System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
}
When compiled and run with Eclipse, this prints "Hello world!" and exits normally.
With the javac compiler, this throws a NullPointerException as expected.
So is there a bug in Eclipse Java compiler?
