Name: nkR10003			Date: 07/05/2000


The most of classes in javax.swing.plaf.basic package, their constructors,
methods and fields has no Javadoc comments but "Java API Requirements
for Compatibility" reads that: "We assume that a complete class
specification is available for each class that must be tested. If a
complete class specification is not available, then adequacy of the test
cases cannot be determined".

Thus JCK team could not write adequate tests for javax.swing.plaf.basic package
without this specification.

The list of unspecified classes, constructors, methods and fields is attached.

Comments
EVALUATION It would take a significant amount of work on the part of both engineers and writers to specify the behavior of this package, and realistically it's not going to happen. ###@###.### 2004-02-17
