JDK part looks good to me.

Test:
 *) Formatting: "i=0", "i<array.length", etc should have spaces;
 *) Formatting: "} catch (NSEE ex)" should be on the same line;
 *) What does the "for (int i=0; i<3; i++) {" thing test?
 *) No need for "parallel = true", should be fine with sequential;
 *) The idiom for exception testing is more self-contained:

 try {
   itr.next();
   fail("Should have thrown NSEE");
 } catch (NSEE ex) {
   // expected
 }

 *) Probably need to add these cases too, to boundary-test the null
handling:
    {null}
    {null, 1}
    {1, null}
    {null, null}
    {null, 1, 2}
    {1, null, 2}
    {1, 2, null}
    {null, null, null}

Yeah, this seems to be an issue with EA, investigating... We can push
this iterator in current form meanwhile.
