Hi Roman,

Did I write those tests (or some of them)?   If so, send me the file 
names and I'll see if I can clean them up a bit.  When I wrote them, I 
checked the results only against Sun JDK 1.4.2 (*), but recently I have 
started to use JDK 1.5 more regularly so now I can work on bringing the 
tests up to date.

Regards,

Dave

(*)  One of the problems with Swing is that the API docs are very much 
underspecified (completely missing in many cases), so it becomes 
necessary to make educated guesses when writing the tests, then confirm 
these against a specific implementation (in my case Sun's 1.4.2).
