NPE in DirectFieldAccessorTests with latest jdk8u40 [SPR-12235]

[spring-projects-issues]

Brian Clozel opened SPR-12235 and commented

A "spring-beans" module test fails using the latest JDK8 build - "build 1.8.0_40-ea-b06":
./gradlew clean :spring-beans:test

This test runs fine in my IDE using the same JDK - so I'm actually wondering if it's actually linked with changes in the swing API. The only change I managed to track in the call stack is in the repaint method.
