RFR: [8218152] javac fails and exits with no error if a bad annotation processor is on the classpath

[Jan Lahoda]

Hi Steve,

I apologize for a late reply. For the FatalError, seems that this 
constructor is being called there:
     public FatalError(JCDiagnostic d, Throwable t) {
         super(d.toString(), t);
     }

with "d == null". That, I think, will lead to an immediate NPE, which I 
don't think is desirable, as it will hide the actual exception that was 
thrown. Or do I miss something?

Thanks,
     Jan
