<Swing Dev> The method XMLEncoder.writeObject(TreePath) goes into infinite recursion

[Sergey Malenkov]

Hi Pavel,

Thank you for your report. The 6423060 CR is already exist:
PIT: java/beans/MetaData/6402062/TestTreePath.java test fails on 
cinnabar and RHAS3 platforms.
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6423060

The problem was in the java.beans.ReflectionUtils class, that was 
refactored in JDK 7 and replaced with the com.sun.beans.finder package. 
Now the issue can't be reproduced with JDK 7.

Thanks,
SAM
