FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
MS Windows 2k

5.00.2195

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When passed a null value, Integer.parseInt() throws a NumberFormatException.
However, Double.parseDouble() and Float.parseFloat() throw NullPointerException
when passed null.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expected to get the same exception (NullPointerException or
NumberFormatException) in both cases

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
