<Swing Dev> [PATCH] 6179357: Generics: JList

[Pavel Porvatov]

Hi Florian,

The good news: the patch was approved on last Friday! So I can push it. 
But many people asked about regression tests. Could you please write 
such automatic tests for the fix. E.g.

-----
         String[] strings = new String[] {"A string"};

         new JList(strings);

         Vector v1 = new Vector();

         new JList(v1);

         Vector<String> v2 = new Vector<String>();

         new JList(v2);
-----
etc.

Here you can find some info about test framework:

Thanks, Pavel.
