Maybe I'm not understanding this but why did the code still raise an exception? I thought the requireNonNull catches the NullPointerException and calls the CreateIssue function instead of the code actually executing and raising an exception?

26,616 PointsAh nevermind, answered my own question. basically requireNonNull is still programmed to raise an exception. It's one of the functional programming methods that does the checking if something returns Null for you instead of coding it yourself.
Basically it replaces this:
If (input == null) {
do.something();
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null input!");
} else {
code.Execute();
}
