EVALUATION ###@###.### 2003-01-09 Not sure if all those obvious mis-uses should explicitely documented. Commit to tiger. ###@###.### 2003-10-09 The InvalidArgumentException is thrown if null is passed for source. This happens because source is passed the the superclass' (EventObject) constructor. This constructor actually throws the exception. However, the specification of EventObjects constructor doesn't specify this exception. It is debatable if IllegalArgumentException is appropriate for a null argument; perhaps NullPointerException is more logical. Also, it is not clear why is is necessary to reject null at all.
