The metadata-public-draft.html for the methods Class.isAnnotationPresent() says:
"Throws: NullPointerException if annotationType is null"

But jdk1.5.0-b35 does not throw the NullPointerException for null
parameter.

The affected tests are:
api/java_lang/Class/index.html#isAnnotPresent[isAnnotPresent0003]

The test source:
--------------------------- B2.java -----------------------------------
import java.io.PrintStream;

class B2 {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            System.out.println("result for non annotated class '" +
B2.class.isAnnotationPresent(null) + "'");
        } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
            System.out.println("OKEY: " + npe);
            return;
        }
        System.out.println("FAILED");
    }
}
