NPE when calling deleteText() on filled textfield

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call method deleteText() on a textfield that is not empty.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The textfield should be emptied, but instead a NullPointerException occurs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0a1 on Windows

Please provide any additional information below.
Here's the fest part of the stack trace:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.fest.swing.core.RobotFixture.enterText(RobotFixture.java:433)
at
org.fest.swing.driver.JTextComponentDriver.enterText(JTextComponentDriver.java:9
7)
at
org.fest.swing.driver.JTextComponentDriver.replaceText(JTextComponentDriver.java
:78)
at
org.fest.swing.driver.JTextComponentDriver.deleteText(JTextComponentDriver.java:
63)
at
org.fest.swing.fixture.JTextComponentFixture.deleteText(JTextComponentFixture.ja
va:155)

The exception occurs here:

  /** ${@inheritDoc} */
  public void enterText(String text) {
    for (char character : text.toCharArray())
      type(character);
  }

That is because the varaible is null in my case. I recommend the following fix:

  /** ${@inheritDoc} */
  public void enterText(String text) {
    if (text != null) {
      for (char character : text.toCharArray())
        type(character);
      }
  }

Set the module as a label, instead of being part of the title.
