to avoid null pointer exceptions all over the place (and/or to avoid having to write lots of code to check that the relationships were non-null). I took the following steps:

You should never need to worry about that. If the to-many relationships are null, you have overridden awakeFromInsertion (and / or awakeFromFetch) and failed to call super.awakeFromInsertion / awakeFromFetch. EOF automatically sets these to empty arrays in the super implementation.

What I do to help preventing that, is creating awakeFromInsertion and awakeFromFetch in my EOGenerator template as a method stub that only calls super() and has a comment for "initialize your object here ...". So I only have to put in the code at that place and can't possibly forget to call super().
