      Description

        Problem: Several methods in the package java.awt.datatransfer -- primarily
        methods of the class DataFlavor -- throw NPEs in responsed to a null argument.
        We feel that in several of these places it would be more appropriate to
        generate a more useful exception or assume a default behavior. In a few of
        these places, the behavior of the method has already been changed in kestrel,
        leading to JCK failures. However, rather than revert to the old behavior, we
        would prefer to change the specifications of the methods and update the JCK
        tests.

        The testcases to be modified not to expect NPEs are:

        DataFlavor0117, StringSelection0003, StringSelection0007,
        UnsupportedFlavorException0002.
