Saleforce Object Field Required state always empty - why?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using SchemaSpy (current / beta - same behaviour) via ant
2. Connecting to Salesforce MetaData API - with administrator privileges
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In schemaspy column "Nulls" should have a value (yes / no)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 - Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Please provide any additional information below.
Not using any specific features - here is a build.xml that runs ant over the 
entire java .jar set

<project default="document">

<property name="sf.username" value="[[[UserName]]]"/>
<property name="sf.password" value="[[[Pasword]]][[[Token]]]"/>

I presume this is line 143 of 
https://code.google.com/p/force-metadata-jdbc-driver/source/browse/trunk/force-m
etadata-jdbc-driver/src/com/claimvantage/force/jdbc/WscService.java. If it is 
important to you, you can grab the code and change it and run your own copy. If 
that goes well, post the code change here and I'll try it out and issue a new 
version of the JAR.

You've tested this and it gives you the results you expect right? Can you post 
a one line explanation of the change (not of the code change but the impact on 
the output) and I'll include that as the change information for a version 2.3? 
Thanks.

The impact of the change put forward by theanura... can be described as follows:

setNillable returns TRUE for mandatory object field, FALSE for a non-mandatory 
object field

Please advise if you are looking for something more Keith?

Thanks

That's fine. The other question I'm asking is confirmation that this change has 
been tested and gives the expected results.

I am not a software developer so unfortunately I cannot answer - I can just
about build an ant script to call a java program - compiling a java stack
is beyond my talents - if someone could provide me with a compiled jar I
will be more than happy to test it (using schemaspy) - testing its output
any other way would be tricky however.
