[tasklist] Line.getDataObject()

Hi there,
somebody (Yarda or Jesse, I can't remember) recently committed
a change to the tasklist module where they substituted
   line.getDataObject()
with
   DataEditorSupport.findDataObject(line)

I thought "great!". That will fix the big problem that's been
bothering me for a while, so I don't have to write to dev@tasklist
about it!

Tonight I replaced all the remaining line.getDataObject() calls
in tasklist with the new form.

But - turns out the problem is still there.

The problem I'm referring to is 
  http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32210
  Line.getDataObject sometimes returns null

Here's the problem. I have a data object. I know the line
number. I look up the Line object for it. And I store
that Line object with each suggestion.

Then, in the tree table, I want to display the original
file name and line number. So I just ask for the
data object (to get the filename via primaryfile),
and I ask line to provide its line number.

The problem is that, for Bundle.properties files in 
particular, Line.getDataObject returns null.

Sooooo.... unless you can think of a better solution,
we need to not only keep a Line reference with
each Suggestion object, but a DataObject reference
as well.

Or will this situation be fixed now with the data system
rewrite?
