Description Martin Matula 2001-01-10 13:01:18 UTC 
When I try to parse invalid type name using Type.parse (e.g. I can pass "." as
a parameter, which means I call Type.parse(".")) and get a valid Type object.
But after I try to call .compareTo, I will get an IllegalArgumentException.

The second attempt worked fine, Tomas ;-) Thanks a lot.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
