By default, javax.swing.JProgressBar has null progress string value. But
getString() method does not return null. It contradicts with current JavaDoc.

Javadoc for JProgressBar says:

-------------------------------------------
getString

public String getString()

      Returns the current value of the progress string.
      ........... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
---------------------------------------------------
setString

public void setString(String s)

      Sets the value of the progress string. By default, this string is null.
      .......... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-------------------------------------------

This test shows a bug:

----------- test.java ------------
import javax.swing.JProgressBar;

public class test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      JProgressBar c = new JProgressBar();
      if (c.getString() == null) {
          System.out.println("OKAY");
      } else {
          System.out.println("FAILED");
      }
  }

}

Output:
-----------------------------
