The JTableHeader.getHeaderRect(-1) throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in the jdk1.3

jdk1.3 docs:"
public Rectangle getHeaderRect(int column)

      Returns the rectangle containing the header tile at column.
      Returns:
            the rectangle containing the header tile at column
      Throws:
            Exception - If column is out of range
"

But It throws an IllegalArgumentException in the jdk1.2.2

jdk1.2.2 docs:"
public Rectangle getHeaderRect(int columnIndex)

      Returns the rectangle containing the header tile at columnIndex.
      Returns:
            the rectangle containing the header tile at columnIndex
      Throws:
            IllegalArgumentException - If columnIndex is out of range
"


This is incompatible change and the behavior of the method should be restored.

-------------example -------------
import javax.swing.table.JTableHeader;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
 
    JTableHeader c=new JTableHeader(); // Create ' . $class . ' object
    
     try {
         c.getHeaderRect(-1);
         System.out.println( "Method does not throw IllegalArgumentException"
);
     } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) { }
        System.out.println("Passed");
    }
}

-------------JDK-1.3-K output ---------------
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 < 0
        at java.util.Vector.elementAt(Vector.java, Compiled Code)

-------------jdk1.2.2 output ---------------
