Description jrojcek 2006-04-11 09:56:05 UTC
Finding	
Participant encountered null pointer exception because he didn't initialize ArrayList field. His code called a 
method on such uninitialized field.

Severity	
Participant had to run the application in order to get to this error which could be an unnecessary step.

Recommendation	
Warn the user about unitialized variables in the source code.
