| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| Sandip Chitale has uploaded the Highlight Boxing Unboxing Varargs Module to the NetBeans Plugin Portal. The module reveals where the Java compiler silently applies boxing and unboxing to primitive types and corresponding reference types in your code. It may also help to diagnose mysterious NPEs when a reference type null value is attempted to be unboxed at runtime. Get more details from <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/scblog/entry/highlight_boxing_unboxing_varargs_module">Sandip's blog</a>.</p> |
