Description IrianR 2014-07-03 10:34:39 UTC 
Using the following code:

List test = null;
for (Object linkedDocumentData : test)
{
   //throws NPE not detected by hint.
}
test.add("NPE detected by hint");

The hint shows on the call to the .add method but not on the for loop.

It works as designed using different kinds of for loops, only the "enhanced" for loop breaks.

Trivial fix for 8.1, keeping as a reference for the reimplementation. Jet-main#8a6eb4b6eeaa

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201509170002* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
