In JDK 1.1 using Swing1.0.3, we had no trouble creating
an offscreen Image and paint()ing a Swing component
using the Image's graphics object.  Under
JDK1.2/Swing1.1, the same code fails with a
NullPointerException in JComponent.

The following simple program demonstrates the effect.
It creates a JTabbedPane with two tabs, each containing
a single JButton.  When tab "A" is selected and "Button
A" is pressed, the code creates an offscreen image, and
calls paint on "Button B" with the image's graphics
context.

Running this program produces the following output:

C:\> java -Djava.compiler=NONE TabTest
Clicking on aa
Paint bb
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NullPointerException:
