--------------------------------------------

Tim, thank you, I can't reproduce the bug with latest sources.

>          Key: HARMONY-94
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-94
>      Project: Harmony
>         Type: Bug
>   Components: Classlib
>     Reporter: Svetlana Samoilenko

> According to j2se 1.4.2 and 1.5 specification for java.util.Collections.binarySearch(List, Object, Comparator c) method null value of Comparator c indicates, that the elements' natural ordering should be used.
> Harmony throws NPE in this case that contradicts specification.
> Code to reproduce: 
> import java.util.*; 
> public class test2 {          
> public static void main(String args[]){ 
>         LinkedList lst = new LinkedList(); 
>         lst.add(new Integer(30)); 
>         Collections.sort(lst, null); 
>         int i = Collections.binarySearch(lst, new Integer(2), null); 
>         System.out.println("Index of search key =" + i); 
>     } 
> }
> Steps to Reproduce: 
> 1. Build Harmony (check-out on 2006-01-30) j2se subset as described in README.txt. 
> 2. Compile test2.java using BEA 1.4 javac 
> > javac -d . test2.java 
> 3. Run java using compatible VM (J9) 
> > java -showversion test2
