The method DataFlavor.clone() throws NullPointerException
if class instance was created with constructor DataFlavor().

The doc says:
--------------------------------------------------
public Object clone()
                      throws CloneNotSupportedException

      Returns:
            a clone of this DataFlavor
      Overrides:
            clone in class Object

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

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        DataFlavor df1 = new DataFlavor();
        Object df2 = df1.clone();
    } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
        System.out.println("unexpected exception: "+e);
    }
  }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor.clone(Compiled Code)
        at Test.main(Compiled Code)
