The JLS for java.awt.List.List() constructor is wrong.
It says there are no visible lines in the list :
    /**
     * Creates a new scrolling list. Initially there are no visible
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     * lines, and only one item can be selected from the list.
       ^^^^^
     */
    public List()
 
But List(0, false) called by List() sets number of visible lines
to DEFAULT_VISIBLE_ROWS (package private constant):
" * @(#)List.java 1.54 98/04/11"

     public List(int rows, boolean multipleMode) {
this.rows = (rows != 0) ? rows : DEFAULT_VISIBLE_ROWS;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this.multipleMode = multipleMode;
    }

 Justification:
Wrong specification, should be fixed for JCK testing.
