             Bug #: 52713
           Summary: JTextComponent crash when caret set to null
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: classpath
           Version: 0.98
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: swing
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


If text is added, and the widget is not yet visible, caret is not initialized. 
We get a Null Pointer Exception executing this line:

caret.setMagicCaretPosition(modelToView(dot).getLocation());
