vt-password: AllowedCharacterRule validate error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use AllowedCharacterRule with alphanumeric 'A','a','2'...
2.Set password as alphanumeric...example: "jg4RSe2BsT32t"
3.validate the password

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The result should return true as valid but instead it return false and 
randomly saying 'j' or 'g' is invalid char.
- Also I think if the ERROR_CODE changes to "NOT_ALLOWED_CHAR" would be better 
than "ALLOWED_CHAR"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vt-password-3.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
not sure if it's a good solution but I manage to fix it by sorting the 
"allowedChar - Arrays.sort(allowedChar);" within the loop where it checks for 
the occurance of password's char inside the method "validate(final PasswordData 
passwordData)"

Can you provide a unit test that fails?
