> Key: PDFBOX-714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-714
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: FontBox
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: [email protected]
> Priority: Minor
>
> Findbugs reported an incorrect type conversion from a char to an object, upon
> further investigation
> This method references a private variable, CHARACTER_TO_NAME.
> This private HashMap is never set by anyone, therefore this method will
> always have a name == null and always throw an exception.
> The class is only extended in 1 place, and that place makes no attempt to
> override this method.
> This method should be deleted from the class.
> public String getNameFromCharacter( char c ) throws IOException
> {
> String name = CHARACTER_TO_NAME.get( c );
> if( name == null )
> {
> throw new IOException( "No name for character '" + c + "'" );
> }
> return name;
> }
