Java 8 Optional is useful (although the API could be better).

If only FindBugs would warn about calling get() without checking isPresent() first. There's an open FindBugs ticket for this: http://sourceforge.net/p/findbugs/feature-requests/302/

That is the old bug tracker. An issue was submitted on the official tracker and immediately closed. See https://github.com/findbugsproject/findbugs/issues/56 for explanation.
