Update code checks both non-null and instance of a class in jdk.hotspot.agent module classes. The checks and explicit casts could also be replaced with pattern matching for the instanceof operator.
For example, the following code: Object node = tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent(); if (node != null && node instanceof SimpleTreeNode) { showInspector((SimpleTreeNode)node); } Can be simplified to: Object node = tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent(); if (node instanceof SimpleTreeNode simpleNode) { showInspector(simpleNode); } See similar cleanup in java.base - [JDK-8258422](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8258422) ------------- Commit messages: - 8289126: Cleanup unnecessary null comparison before instanceof check in jdk.hotspot.agent Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9272/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=9272&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8289126 Stats: 62 lines in 18 files changed: 0 ins; 13 del; 49 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9272.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk pull/9272/head:pull/9272 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/9272
