Ahh... The good 'ol technique for avoiding NPEs in Java.



For those who are wondering what this refers to, it is writing code like this:

    "foo".equals(myVar)
instead of writing:

    myVar.equals("foo")
which could can cause NullPointerException if myVar is null.


you've missed a closing " which makes this read differently than intended


Thanks. Fixed now.
