The method JSplitPane.setDividerLocation(double) is ignored if it is used before it's parent
Frame is packed.  

For the following application, if run with

    java SplitPaneBug

it shows the bug.  But if you run it with a parameter, like this:

    java SplitPaneBug x

setDividerLocation() is called just after the Frame.pack() call, and everything works fine.
