A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a JSlider whose maximum=Integer.MAX_VALUE is added to a panel and painted, it will enter a seemingly infinite loop when painting the major ticks. I believe this is happening because of an integer overflow issue. BasicSliderUI contains the following loop:

int value = slider.getMinimum()

while ( value <= slider.getMaximum() ) {
   ...
   value += slider.getMajorTickSpacing();
}

It looks like "value" can never be greater than MAX_INT, so the loop will never terminate! A similar loop can be found for painting minor ticks.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Construct a JSlider with the following values:
minimum=0
maximum=2147483646
majorTickSpacing=536870911

setPaintLabels(true)
setPaintTicks(true)

Add this JSlider to a JPanel and paint it.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A JSlider whose values range from 0 to Integer.MAX_VALUE (maybe Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1) is painted with a few major tick marks (should be 4 ticks for the spacing described above).
ACTUAL -
Infinite loop in the painting methods.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
