[Bug libgcj/23288] New: java.lang.Class's #getPackage() returns null

["martin at egholm-nielsen dot dk" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following code illustrates that java.lang.Class's method getMethod() returns
null. (The source for Class.java in 3.4.3 actually proves that it is
gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader that does it...)

--- 8< 8< 8< ---
package men.gcjpackage;

public class TestPackage
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    System.out.println("ClassLoader: " + TestPackage.class.getClassLoader() );
    System.out.println("Package: " + TestPackage.class.getPackage());
  } // main
} // TestPackage
--- 8< 8< 8< ---

It produces the following output:

# ./testpackage
ClassLoader: gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader@10074fc0
Package: null

This is tested with libgcj 3.4.3, however Tom Tromey has proven this still exist
in latest HEAD (as of 2005-08-08):
