May be related to bug #4144543.

Reproducing the problem:

Create a class (call it "BITest") that extends java.awt.Component and overrides "public void setSize(Dimension size)".

Now call Introspector.getBeanInfo(BITest.class).getPropertyDestriptors(), and find the PropertyDescriptor for the "size" property.
This PropertyDescriptor returns "null" for "getReadMethod()", when it should return the "Component.getSize" method.

I imagine this is somehow caused by the multiple "setSize" methods defined by Component..?

<---- EXAMPLE SOURCE ---->

/*********************
 * File: BITest.java *
 *********************/
public class BITest extends java.awt.Component {
    public void setSize(java.awt.Dimension size) {
        super.setSize( size );
    }
}

/*********************
 * File: Main.java *
 *********************/
import java.beans.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            BeanInfo bi = Introspector.getBeanInfo(BITest.class);
            PropertyDescriptor[] pds = bi.getPropertyDescriptors();
            PropertyDescriptor sizePD = null;
            for(int i = 0; i < pds.length; i++) {
                if (pds[i].getName().equals("size")) {
                    sizePD = pds[i];
                    break;
                }
            }

            System.out.println("size ReadMethod: " + sizePD.getReadMethod());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
