However, the link you refer to is very outdated (2007). If you check: http://builder.classpath.org/japi/jdk15-classpath.html you will find results against the current version of GNU Classpath, rebuilt several times daily. Links to this are available on the GNU Classpath homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath getName() is implemented, that's why it throws a NullPointerException rather than not compiling.
