In Integer and Long, several of the parsing methods are specified to throw
NumberFormatException on a null input rather than an NPE. That behavior is not
proposed to be modified. However, I think it is reasonable for the
NumberFormatException to have a more informative error message than just "null"
-- specifically "Cannot parse null string" is proposed here.
All four prior occurrences of
throw new NumberFormatException("null")
have be updated; there were no other instances of this idiom in the java.lang
package.
All java/lang/{Integer, Long} regression tests pass with this change.
