Description

java.awt.Color class keeps the pData field that is never used neither from Java nor native layer.
Also, Color.theContext field (being used as a cache) seem useless.

EVALUATION Fields are transient and we may expect no problems with serialization. Eliminating the cache instance from the Color class needs removing a reg-test.
