javax.swing.JTable.isColumnSelected() does not throw IAE

Name: ooR10001 Date: 06/04/2001


javax.swing.JTable.isColumnSelected(int column) does not throw
IllegalArgumentException when column is not in the valid range. It
contradicts with current javadoc which says:

-----------------
isColumnSelected

public boolean isColumnSelected(int column)

...........................
  Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if column is not in the valid range
-----------------

Following test shows the bug:
--------------- test.java --------------------
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;

public class test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      JTable c = new JTable(new DefaultTableModel(1, 1));
      try {
          c.isColumnSelected(-1);
          System.out.println("Exception is not thrown");
      } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
      }
  }

}
