JDK-6376102 - Update JSR 269 to Public Review Draft v0.67
Description
AbstractProcessor.init() doesn't specify any behavior if parameter penv is equal to null.
Parameters:
    penv - environment to access facilities the tool framework provides to the processor

Hence, it should obey the following spec:
Unless otherwise specified, methods in this package should be expected to throw a NullPointerException if given a null argument.

However NPE is not thrown if penv is equal to null.
Comments
EVALUATION Not reproducible as of build 83; a null test was added as part of the fix for 6376102.
