    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When setting time in Calendar.setTime(Date date), if 'Date date = null' then setTime() results nullPointerException since it is not able to call date.getTime() within itself. This problem needs null check, and possible default value setting if date = null.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Execute the following in Java

      Date date = null;
      Calendar.setTime(date);

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Possible default value setting?
      ACTUAL -
      NullPointerException
