Divide by zero exception when rotating an empty List
----------------------------------------------------

         Key: HARMONY-19
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-19
     Project: Harmony
        Type: Bug
  Components: Contributions  
 Environment: All
    Reporter: George Harley
 Assigned to: Geir Magnusson Jr 


The implementation of method rotate(List, int) in java.util.Collections is not
checking the size of the input list prior to attempting the rotation. As a 
result, when called with an empty List argument a java.lang.ArithmeticException
will occur because of the the subsequent divide by zero operation. 

The problem can be demonstrated in the below unit test case ...


        public void testRotateEmptyList() {
                // Create an *empty* list
                List list = new ArrayList();
                try {
                        Collections.rotate(list, 25);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        fail("Unexpected exception rotating empty List : " + e);
                }
        }
