1. The constructor for javax.swing.Timer, Timer(int delay,ActionListener
listener) doesn't throw IllegalArgumentException for invalid delay, if delay is
set less than zero.

2. The sample code is,

   import javax.swing.*;
   import java.awt.event.*;
   class Test extends Thread implements ActionListener
   {
        public static void main(String args[])
        {
            Test m = new Test();
            m.start();
        }
        public void run()
        {
            Timer m = new Timer(-2000,this);//here delay < 0
            m.start();
            while(true)
            {
                try
                {
                    Thread.sleep(200);
                }
                catch(InterruptedException exp){}
            }
         }
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
         {
            System.out.print(" Hello World ");
         }
   }
