Sub Tasks

Description
The test case Caret002 in
javasoft.sqe.tests.api.javax.swing.text.Caret.CaretTests fails due to Caret selection is not invisible

The test log as below:
Caret001: Passed. OKAY
Caret002: Failed. Caret selection should be invisible

This is reproducible with JDK 7 MacPort only
The essence of the testcase is the following:

        javax.swing.text.Caret testedCaret = new JTextArea().getCaret();
        testedCaret.setSelectionVisible(false);
        System.err.println(testedCaret.isSelectionVisible());

With AuqaL&F method isSelectionVisible() returns true which is wrong.

The problem is with implementation consistency for getter/setter methods:
http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/jdk/7/promoted/latest/doc/api/javax/swing/text/Caret.html#setSelectionVisible%28boolean%29
http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/jdk/7/promoted/latest/doc/api/javax/swing/text/Caret.html#isSelectionVisible%28%29

Comments
EVALUATION

com.apple.laf.AquaCaret.setSelectionVisible() ignores disabling of the selection visibility for JTextArea and JEditorPane

it is agains the spec, however this code is forward ported from official JDK 6 from Apple, which is supposed to be JCK compliant

I checked that Caret.setSelectionVisible() works the same way there,
we request the JCK team to comment on this situation.

EVALUATION

Well, porting some code from something which is supposed to be a JCK compliant 
does not makes the result compliant automatically.

I suggest to ask JLE regarding Apple certification of their SE6 implementation particualry in this little aspect.
