        Javadoc for

        public boolean java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor.match(DataFlavor that)

        method does not describe expected reaction when null is passed in.
        As "Requirements for Writing Java API Specifications" say:
         (http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingapispecs/index.html#method)

        Method Specification
            This section applies to Java methods and constructors. Each method and
            constructor specification must include:
            .....
        4.Null Argument Values - For each reference type argument, specify the behavior
          when null is passed in.See two examples. NOTE: If possible, document the general
          null argument behavior at the package or class level, such as causing a
          java.lang.NullPointerException to be thrown. Deviations from this behavior can
          then be documented at the method level.


        This bug should be fixed to get completely fixed jck bug 4461049.
