[java-gnome-hackers] null constant?

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629852

I wrote there,

...this is only a problem if you don't have the "left_ptr_watch" named
cursor in
your cursor theme. I don't know why you wouldn't, but obviously you
don't, and
we should probably be robust against such a case.

We can change the code to initialize that constant to Java null if it's
not found.

Is that acceptable? I'm not sure. Maybe this is a special case, but
*nowhere* else in java-gnome is one of the constant fields null (!) -
they're all initialized to Constant Objects.

I have a patch that does this, but I wanted to ask what people think
about Cursor.WORKING being null sometimes. That strikes me as freaky.
