The change looks fine. However, are other methods in the same situation, e.g. void setTimeZone​(TimeZone value), getInstance​(Locale aLocale), etc.? Or, would it better to add a general statement about passing in null values?

[naotoj]

Thanks, Lance,

Yes, and thanks for the CSR review too!

[naotoj]

Thanks, Joe.

Those two methods describe the NPE correctly. There are other locations that may have missed the @throws tag, but I would rather fix this specific one this time (for my GitHub training :-)

[JoeWang-Java]

That makes sense (good start for the 1st PR ;-)).
