Robert Stupp has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains three commits:
- spec (javadoc)
- move checks to CL + hoist IAE checks from URL/BuiltinClassLoaders
- 8349545: ClassLoader.definePackage() throws IllegalArgumentException if package already defined
Concurent calls to `ClassLoader.definePackage()` can yield `IllegalArgumentException`s if the package is already defined. Some built-in class loaders, like `URLClassLoader`, already handle this case, but custom class loaders (would) have to handle this case.
This change updates the logic of `CL.definePackage` to not throw an IAE if the "redefined" package is equal to the already defined one. To enable this, `NamedPackage`, `Package` and `Package$VersionInfo` implement `hashCode`+`equals`, with the special handling to not involve a `URLStreamHandler` when comparing `VersionInfo.sealBase`.
Tests added in `jdk/java/lang/Package/PackageDefineTest.java` (+ pulling up the `TestClassLoader` from `PackageDefineTest`).
