Summary: NullPointerException when passing null paramter

Initial Comment:
If in the interactions pane you call on a method
incorrectly, normally you get the message:

Error: No '...' method in '...' with arguments: (...)

But if you pass any null parameters either into a
non-existent method or into an existing method with the
wrong number/types of arguments, dynamic java throws a
NullPointerException instead of showing the error
message.  

Even though there is no stack trace displayed for this
exception in the interactions pane, the user may still
think that the exception is being thrown from within
the method and that the method still exists.
