      Problem description
      ===================
      The javadoc specification for the Instrumentation.setNativeMethodPrefix method at:
      http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/instrument/Instrumentation.html#setNativeMethodPrefix(java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer
      ,%20java.lang.String)
      states as follows:
        ---Excerpt-from-spec---
        Parameters:
          ...
          prefix - The prefix which has been applied to wrapped native methods.
        ---End-of-excerpt---

      It would be fine to document that null value for prefix is acceptable but has no effect on the failure handling of native method resolution, i.e. equals to empty prefix.
