Here is an updated version which removes the absolute put() method which accepts a source buffer:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/5029431/webrev.04/

This version uses IOOBEs and not Buffer*flowExceptions for the cases where the supplied parameters would provoke an out of range access. Once we have consensus on this I will update the corresponding CSR https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212619 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212619>.

I created a separate issue to track the potential effort to reinstate the removed method later:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8219014 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8219014>

Thanks,

Brian
