---------------------------------------
Hi,
I updated JavaDoc and made a pull request that is now added to the others I did
in the last months, are you able to merge them ?

> JXPathContext#getPointer claims that null will be returned if the XPath expr
> does not point to a valid node

> Traverses the xpath and returns a Pointer. A Pointer provides easy access to
> a property. If the xpath matches no properties in the graph, the pointer will
> be null.
> {quote}
> This is not true because not {{null}} is returned but {{NullPointer}}. This
> makes a tremendous difference.
