Description

StringHashTableDictionary.java

  private void doResize(int newCapacity, int oldCapacity) {
    // ...
    Arrays.fill(hashBuckets, null);
    hashBuckets = resizedHashBuckets;
  }

No need to waste time to null-out of hashBuckets. hashBuckets is overwritten and the Java GC will clean it up, and by extension, all of its elements.
