如果其中一个值为“ null”，则Java 8 Collectors.toMap会抛出a NullPointerException。我不了解这种行为，地图可以包含空指针作为值，而没有任何问题。是否有充分的理由为何值不能为null Collectors.toMap？

另外，是否有解决此问题的不错的Java 8方法，还是应该将其恢复为普通的for循环？

我的问题的一个例子：

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;


class Answer {
    private int id;

    private Boolean answer;

    Answer() {
    }

    Answer(int id, Boolean answer) {
        this.id = id;
        this.answer = answer;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Boolean getAnswer() {
        return answer;
    }

    public void setAnswer(Boolean answer) {
        this.answer = answer;
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Answer> answerList = new ArrayList<>();

        answerList.add(new Answer(1, true));
        answerList.add(new Answer(2, true));
        answerList.add(new Answer(3, null));

        Map<Integer, Boolean> answerMap =
        answerList
                .stream()
                .collect(Collectors.toMap(Answer::getId, Answer::getAnswer));
    }
}

Java 11中仍然存在此问题。
