Hello Java Posse.
In a break from Oracle and Google legal fun, I thought I'd throw this
problem out there. We're running into a strange, what seems to be JVM-
related issue. Given the following classes:
abstract class Inner {
Inner() { run(); }
public abstract void run();
}
public class Outer {
public static void test(final String s) {
Inner i = new Inner() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("s = " + s);
}
};
i.run();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
test("hello");
}
}
Why does jre 1.4 return this:
s = null
s = hello
But jre 6 returns this:
s = hello
s = hello
We have an application targeting jre6 that is getting null pointer
exceptions from variables supposedly declared final, referenced from
inner classes.
