<AWT Dev> [9] Review Request: JDK-8043513 Clipboard#getContents(Object) throws IOException

[Petr Pchelko]

Hello, Sergey.

> Submitter complains about IOException itself, not about incorrect stack trace.
The IOException is fine.
It’s thrown from a different method (not as the stacktace states) and it’s OK by documentation. 
Just the stack trace is “wrong”.
We can’t fix the IOException, because the clipboard was not ready and we can’t do anything about it.

With best regards. Petr.
