The method java.beans.Statement.toString() throw unexpected NullPointerException
when the arguments array of statement is null.

Here is a minimized test:
import java.beans.Statement;

public class StatementTest01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Object target = new Object();
        String methodName = "equals";
        Object[] arguments = null;

        Statement st = new Statement(target, methodName, arguments);

        System.out.println(st.toString());

    }
}
--- Output ---
