no check whether component has the focus before remove component

7/25/97: Oracle report:

==========================================
When remove is called on a Component, no check is made to see if the Component
or one of it's children has the focus. If a child has the focus, the next
time FocusManager.focusNext() is called there is a NullPointerException
because the method tries Components that are no longer in the tree.
When a lightweight Component is hidden, if it or one of it's children has the
focus, the focus must be changed to the next eligible Component.
The Windowing system takes care of this for heavyweight Components.
LightweightComponent.hide() needs to handle this.
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NullPointerException:
        at java.awt.FocusManager.focusNext(Window.java:518)
        at java.awt.FocusManager.focusNext(Window.java:504)
        at java.awt.Window.handleTabEvent(Window.java:332)
        at java.awt.Window.postProcessKeyEvent(Window.java:345)
        at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:1501)
        at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:837)
        at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:401)
        at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:1393)
        at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:63)

This NullPointerException is actually caused by a different problem! I shall
open another bug for the remove()/focus problem described above.
The exception is occuring because focusRoot == focusOwner when focusNext() is
called. Another problem I observed is that when focusOwner is null focusNext
has no effect.

============================================

test cases: start applet -> hit TAB key, it will generate NullPointerException
