[Bug swing/26871] New: ImageIcon constructor throws exception when a nonexistent file is specified

[avi at argo dot co dot il]

When calling the ImageIcon constructor with a nonexistent file name as a
parameter, the constructor throws an exception. The Sun JDK does not, and the
documentation suggests that this is the correct behavior.

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

public class ImageIconTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ImageIcon("foobar");
    }
}

(the file "foobar" should not exist for the test)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Couldn't load
image: foobar

   at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init> (libgcj.so.7)

This is with the classpath in gcc 4.1 in FC5 (gcc-4.1.0-3)
