EVALUATION This is an AWT regression that I reported to hotspot-test back on December 18. I presumed these failures would be marked as known bugs until resolved: <email extract> FYI With the switch to promoted build b04 a few nights ago, the nightly tests are now being affected by 6499736 which is a regression in the AWT code: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException [2006-12-17T07:54:55.38] at sun.awt.X11.XToolkit.getScreenInsets(XToolkit.java:712) [2006-12-17T07:54:55.38] at java.awt.Window.init(Window.java:369) [2006-12-17T07:54:55.38] at java.awt.Window.<init>(Window.java:407) [2006-12-17T07:54:55.38] at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:402) [2006-12-17T07:54:55.38] at javax.swing.JFrame.<init>(JFrame.java:207) This fails in three tests that I can see: regression/jit/4141334/SwingMark jit/common/misctests/fpustack nsk/regression/b4265661 <end> I don't know why the fix for 6499736 hasn't been integrated yet.
