Hello, This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u4:
6505523 NullPointerException in BasicTreeUI when a node is removed by expansion listener
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6505523 The fix has already been pushed to JDK 8, as: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/awt/jdk/rev/79d14e328670 The code changes for jdk7u4 are identical to the ones in jdk8. Thank you, Alexandr.
