Hi, Krishna.
The .02 version of the fix have changed the behavior of
toDisplayString() method. Before the fix it throws NPE for key=null,
after the fix it returns null.
That's ok.
That's not ok, since we change a behavior without discussion that the
benefits of change outweigh the disadvantages, when we implemented
some unrelated fix.
That's not true. You may find the discussion in the current thread. Fill
free to provide your arguments to it.
It is an improvement. NPE is not expected result according to the
toDisplayString() method spec.
It also changed result of toDisplayString(), previously it did not
returned null. I think .01 is better and simpler.
Returning null is better than throwing NPE especially in the case when
NPE doesn't correspond to the spec. Krishna kindly agreed to fix both
issues at once. I didn't get what is the problem?
