That is, throw IOOBE when index is negative or >= limit, throw the Buffer*flowExceptions if the transfer would result in buffer overflow/underflow. I think that will fix the inconsistency with the current proposal and also helps with the troubleshooting a bit. Yes, it does mean a small adjustment to the wording in the exceptions.

I have revised the specifications of exceptions for the five methods in question and updated the tests accordingly:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/5029431/webrev.02/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/5029431/webrev.02/>

I have not yet updated the wording of the Buffer*flowException classes to remove the restriction to relative operations. I can do that once the rest looks good.

Thanks,

Brian
