The API doc for Graphics2D.clip(shape s) claims that passing a null argument would actually clear the existing clipping area, which is incorrect. This statement is applicable only to G2D.setClip() and not for the clip() method. G2D.clip() would throw a NullPointerException when it encounters a null argument. Updated spec to rectify this.
