You are new to java.  I know because this was the same question I was asking
when I started in java from c++;

Its a hangover from the delete(obj) ideology;

However, since java does not do pointers, this functionality is out.  This
is INDEED for safety.  no such null pointers will be allowed to be created
by calling functions.  If you got a null pointer, you know you made it null
yourself.


Class obj = new Class();

this obj variable CAN NOT be made null by any funtion call.  it can only be
made null WITHIN its own scope.  it works to eliminate havign to check if
your object isnull or not.  You dont see many people in java catching null
pointer exceptions for this very reason...You will adapt.
