The local variable might not have been initialized - Detect unchecked exception throw within a method

Question

I have some code with this structure:

public void method() {
    Object o;
    try {
        o = new Object();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        //Processi         


        

Answer 1

Instance variable is the Object type so you should initialize value "null"

public void method() {
Object o=null;
try {
    o = new Object();
} catch (Exception e) {
    handleError();
}
doSomething(o); 
}
