Possible NPE in NsTest.printException()
---------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-5452
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5452
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Test
    Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Priority: Minor


NsTest.printException() contains the following piece of code:

                if (e.getMessage().equals(null)) {
                        System.out.println("NULL error message detected");
                        System.out.println("Here is the NULL exection - " + 
e.toString());
                        System.out.println("Stack trace of the NULL exception - 
");
                        e.printStackTrace(System.out);
                }

It's supposed to detect if e.getMessage() returns null. However, if it does 
return null, calling equals() on the return value will result in a 
NullPointerException.

The condition should be changed to (e.getMessage() == null).
