JCK : JCK-runtime-6b b24
J2SE : FAIL - jdk6u10 build 23, jdk 7 b26

switch/Mode : FAIL - any

Changes in java.awt.Component near line 635:

    private transient final Object changeSupportLock = new Object();
    private Object getChangeSupportLock() {
        return changeSupportLock;
    }

cause every call to synchronized (getChangeSupportLock()) for deserialized component to throw NPE, since changeSupportLock is transient and null for deserialized object.
