The JLS for java.awt.List.add(String item, int index) constructor is wrong.
It says:
    /**
     * Adds the specified item to the end of the scrolling list.
       !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     * The index is zero-based. If value of the index is
     * <code>-1</code> then the item is added to the end.
     * If value of the index is greater than the number of
     * items in the list, the item is added at the end.
     * @param item the item to be added.
     * @param index the position at which to add the item.
     * @since JDK1.1
     */
    public synchronized void add(String item, int index) {
 
But the method adds item at the index position.

Besides, the docs does not say about index less than -1.
In this case method adds item to the end of list.

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