Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Should I make the fix and send it to you again? By the way, for the fix, you only want the parameters name changed and should I also change the bug information to the one that you just send me? Thanks again.

Hi,

thanks for the analysis of this defect.
BTW, it's covered by the CR:
6848458: java/awt/GridLayout/LayoutExtraGaps/LayoutExtraGaps.java fails 
(I can't find it through bugs.sun.com perhaps due to some temporary 
problems with the site)
I like the fix but I'd name parameters not "boarders", but "borders" 
otherwise it sounds like a variable receives some meal in a the method 
scope in return for payment or service of holding the value in it :)

public static boolean areBoardersEqual(double boarder1, double boarder2) {


Thanks,
  Andrei

The test currently under the openjdk I believe was trying to test whether a GridLayout object centre its component properly (based on the message printed by the exception). It tested that by checking if the origin coordinate of the first component (each component is a rectangle, and there are 29 rectangles in a panel and there are 4 panels in the main window) is (0,0). If both x and y are 0 for any of the panels, then the test fails. I also think that the reason why they chose (0,0) as the failing point because base on the values they passed in, x and y cannot both be at (0,0). This is not valid because the error that was output states, "Test failed. GridLayout doesn't center component.", but the components are in fact centred, since all opposite boarders have equal dimension.

And the boarder changes as the gui window resizes (not sure if that is another problem in java or if it was intentional). Not surprisingly, two of the panels were initialized such that there is no boarder between itself and the rectangles, causing the test to fail. Which the test should not have failed because everything was centred properly.
