Name: eaR10174 Date: 09/28/2001


  Method javax.xml.transform.Transformer.setErrorListener(ErrorListener listener) is not thrown the
IllegalArgumentException if listener is null (See test.java below).
  
  The javadoc description (build jdk1.4.0beta-b80) of this method reads:
  
      "public abstract void setErrorListener(ErrorListener listener)
                               throws IllegalArgumentException
       ...
         Throws:
            IllegalArgumentException - if listener is null."

This bug is found in the builds jdk1.4.0-beta3-b80, jaxp-1.1.1-b26-26_jun_2001 and affects a new
JCK1.4 test
