The constructor DataFlavor(String mimeType) doesn't throw
IllegalArgumentException if input param doesn't specify class.

The doc says:
--------------------------------------------------
public DataFlavor(java.lang.String mimeType)
           throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

      construct a DataFlavor from a Mime Type string.
      The string must specify a "class=" parameter in order
      to succeed in constructing a DataFlavor.
      Parameters:
        mimeType - the string used to identify the MIME type
                   for this flavor. If the the mimeType does not
                   specify a "class=" parameter, or if the class is
                   not successfully loaded, then an
                   IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

The test demonstrating the bug:
-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
       
      DataFlavor df = null;
      try {
System.out.println("1/");
df = new DataFlavor("application/postscript");
      } catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
      }
      try {
System.out.println("2/");
df = new DataFlavor("application/postscript;class=java.nowhere.Nobody");
      } catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
      }
      try {
System.out.println("3/");
df = new DataFlavor("application/postscript;class=");
      } catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
      }
  }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------
1/
2/
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.nowhere.Nobody
3/
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: failed to parse:application/postscript;class=
