JDK-6241620 - DescriptorSupport(String[],Object[]) doc contradictory concerning null parameters
Description
The Javadoc says that the fieldNames and fieldValues parameters to the DescriptorSupport(String[],Object[]) constructor can both be null, in which case an empty DescriptorSupport is produced.  But in fact the code throws a NullPointerException.
