Documentation for method:
java.awt.datatransfer.FlavorEvent.FlavorEvent(Clipboard source)

EVALUATION Name: dk30142 Date: 07/19/2003 Accepted ====================================================================== Name: dk30142 Date: 07/19/2003 Accepted ====================================================================== Should specify that the constructor FlavorEvent(Clipboard source) throws IllegalArgumentException as FlavorEvent's superclass, EventObject, does (refer to the bug 4145996 which was finally fixed in tiger). ###@###.### 2005-1-26 12:17:06 GMT
