1If the field should be able to hold `null`, use `Boolean`, if not, use `boolean`. – aioobe Jun 04 '15 at 13:38

If the field should be able to hold `null`, it's not really a boolean at all. Consider an `enum`, or perhaps the [`Optional`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Optional.html) class (available in [Guava](https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/UsingAndAvoidingNullExplained) before Java 8). – dimo414 Jun 04 '15 at 17:04
