Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3.1 (Build 201306052037) Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_17 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01 I see the "Unnecessary test for null" hint in this Java code: String x = null; do { if (x == null) continue; } while (x == null); It says "the expression is never null", but in this case it is always null.
