javax.swing.SpinnerListModel(List) constructor has incorrect behaviour becuase it does
not throw IllegalArgumentException when passed argument is null or has zero length.

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

public SpinnerListModel(List values)

      Construct a SpinnerModel whose sequence of values is defined by the
      specified List. The intial value (current element) of the model will
      be values.get(0). If values is null or has zero size then an
      IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
----------------------------------------------

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

public class test {

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

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

This needs to be fixed.
