The spec for ctor java.util.EventObject(Object source)
does not specify behavior if 'source' == null.
Currently ctor throws uexpected IllegalArgumentException.

--------------Here is what doc says:--------------
public EventObject(Object source)

      Constructs a prototypical Event
      Parameters:
            source - The object that the Event occurred upon.

-----Here is the test demonstrating the bug:------
import java.util.EventObject;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            EventObject eo = new EventObject(null);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
-----Here is output from test:--------------------
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null source
