javax.swing.SpinnerListModel(Object[]) constructor has incorrect behaviour

Name: ooR10001 Date: 12/15/2000


javax.swing.SpinnerListModel(Object[]) constructor has incorrect behaviour because
it doesn't throw IllegalArgumentException when argument is null or has zero length.

The javadoc says:
----------------------
SpinnerListModel

public SpinnerListModel(Object[] values)

      Construct a SpinnerModel whose sequence of values is defined by the
      specified array. The intial value of the model will be values[0].
      If values is null or has zero length then an IllegalArugmentException
      is thrown.
----------------------------------------------

Following test is demonstrate this bug:
----------------------------------------------
import javax.swing.SpinnerListModel;

public class test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String status = "FAILED";
    try {
        SpinnerListModel model = new SpinnerListModel(new Object[] {});
    } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
        status = "OKAY";
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
        status = "OKAY";
    }
    System.out.println(status);
  }

}
----------------------
Test output:
----------------------
FAILED
----------------------

This needs to be fixed.
