 The following method of the class javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar

public abstract XMLGregorianCalendar normalize()

throws IllegalArgumentException if the time zone is UTC or undefined.

The javadoc of the method specifies no exception to be thrown. Instead
it refers to the W3C XML Schema Part 2, Section 3.2.7.3 which reads:
W3C XML Schema Part 2, Section 3.2.7.3
"
A.Normalize P and Q. That is, if there is a timezone present, but it is not Z,
convert it to Z using the addition operation defined in Adding durations
to dateTimes
"

So in both cases (UTC and undefined) the method should leave
the XMLGregorianCalendar instance unchanged and return.

This bug affects new test in JCK 1.5
  api/javax_xml/datatype/XMLGregorianCalendar/index.html#Normalize[Normalize001]

The bug is found in jdk1.5.0/beta/b51.

To reproduce the bug compile and run test.java as shown in the log below:
------------------------------------------ test.java
import javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar;
import javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory;

class test {

    static final String [] normalizeValues = {
        "2000-01-16T12:00:00Z",
        "2000-01-16T12:00:00",
    };

    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
        DatatypeFactory df = DatatypeFactory.newInstance();
        String status = "Passed.";
        for(int i = 0; i < normalizeValues.length; ++i) {
            XMLGregorianCalendar lhs = df.newXMLGregorianCalendar(normalizeValues[i]);
            try {
                lhs.normalize();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                status = "Failed.";
                System.out.println("'" + normalizeValues[i] + "'.normalize()"
                            + " throws " + e);
            }
        }
        System.out.println(status);
    }
}
