RFR: 8075810: LogManager.readConfiguration may throw undocumented IllegalArgumentException

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

Please find below a fix for

8075810: LogManager.readConfiguration may throw
          undocumented IllegalArgumentException

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8075810

The proposed fix is to catch the IllegalArgumentException and
wrap it in an IOException, since LogManager.readConfiguration
is specified to throw IOException "if there are problems reading
from the stream."

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8075810/webrev.00/

Initial discussion around the issue can be seen here:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2015-March/032348.html

Question for reviewers: I will log a CCC for this - but I am wondering
       whether I should plan to backport the fix to earlier release?


best regards,
