<i18n dev> Review Request for JDK-8169480: Inconsistencies across Format class hierarchy in their API spec...

[Nishit Jain]

Hi,

Please review the fix for JDK-8169480

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8169480
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~nishjain/8169480/webrev.06/

Issue: In the Format class hierarchy there are some APIs which are 
inconsistent with regard to their api specification and implementation 
of Exception.
Fix: If the inconsistency is in concrete subclass's API, added the 
proper Exception in @exception tag of the specification.
If the inconsistency is in the abstract API, to maintain behavioural 
compatibility with the existing implementations, added the behaviour 
requirement in the @implSpec tag

Regards,
Nishit Jain
