This bug was filed in JDK1.2fcs.

Spec for java.awt.Frame.remove(MenuComponent m) method defines
NullPointerException as result if null is input parameter.
But this method doesn't throw it.


SRC fragment:
...
 * @(#)Frame.java 1.94 98/09/09
...
    /**
     * Removes the specified menu bar from this frame.
     * @param m the menu component to remove.
     * If this parameter is <code>null</code> then a
     * NullPointerException is thrown and no action
     * is taken.
     */
...

--Example--
import java.awt.*;

public class TestFrame09 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
Frame fr = new Frame("title");
MenuBar mb = new MenuBar();
fr.setMenuBar(mb);
mb = null;
try {
fr.remove(mb);
System.out.println("Failed: NullPointerException expected");
} catch (NullPointerException npe) {
System.out.println("OKAY");
}
    }
}
-- Output --
%java TestFrame09
Failed: NullPointerException expected
