<Swing Dev> Bug Report (with fix): NPE in CompoundBorder.getInsets()

[Alexander Potochkin]

Hello Jon

in the description of this bug
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=477

we can read that
"It functions correctly when using the JDK from Sun."

Do you have an idea why it happens?

I checked that we don't have the null check in that method
either in the Sun JDK

Thanks

> The problem being that, while it checks that each of insideBorder and outsideBorder are non-null before trying to call their getBorderInsets() methods, there is no check that a non-null Insets object is returned before attempting to access its members.  See CR for simple fix:
