A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
WheneverJLabel with html text that contains a <script> tag is painted, a ClassCastException is thrown.
This bugs relates to bug 5021864 which has State 10-Fix Delivered, bug

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a JLabel , pass it html text that contains a script tag and let it be painted



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Clearly I don't expect the renderer to interpret javascript, but not throwing an exception and simply ignoring the <scrtipt> tags would be nice!
ACTUAL -
Exception gets thrown, program flow is interrupted.
