Description
Tests api/javax_swing/interactive/JTabbedPaneTests.html#JTabbedPane[JTabbedPaneTest0007]  and api/javax_swing/interactive/JTabbedPaneTests.html#JTabbedPane[JTabbedPaneTest0008] fail with Nimbus LaF. Tests check  setBackgroundAt and setForegroundAt methods of the class JTabbedPane . Without Nimbus LaF test changes font and background of tabs. With Nimbus it has no effect.

steps to reproduce:

change path to JCK 6b and  run

set CLASSPATH=C:\\JCK\\JCK-runtime-6b\\classes;C:\\jcktest\\JCK-runtime-6b\\lib\\javatest
C:\\JDK\\jdk1.6.0_10\\bin\\java.exe -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -Djava.security.policy=C:\\JCK\\JCK-runtime-6b\\lib\\jck.policy javasoft.sqe.tests.api.javax.swing.interactive.JTabbedPane.JTabbedPaneTests -TestCaseID JTabbedPaneTest0007 -TestDirURL file:/C:/jcktest/JCK-runtime-6b/tests/api/javax_swing/interactive/JTabbedPaneTests.html#JTabbedPane
Comments
EVALUATION There is note in the spec for JComponent.setBackground/setForeground methods: * It is up to the look and feel to honor this property, some may * choose to ignore it. We need to add the same note for the JTabbedPane.setBackgroundAt/setForegroundAt We can't update the spec in update releases, will fix it for JDK7
