<Swing Dev> [13] JDK-8216008: -Djavax.accessibility.assistive_technologies empty list leads to crash

[shashidhara.veerabhadraiah at oracle.com]

Another point is that the whitespace trimming should not trigger 
additional input processing  for the custom class that will be used for 
assistive technology. For eg., if custom class "FooProvider" is 
implemented and if we pass "  FooProvider  " by mistake, a bug may be 
created to trim the whitespace in this case as well!! Hence, I chose to 
create only one path for not loading any assistive technologies. Hope 
this answers, Sergey. Please let me know if you think otherwise.

Thanks and regards,

Shashi

I think that would take a different direction. I feel it is fair enough to provide one way to tell not to load any assistive technologies and additional parsing would only lead to other ways/expectations.

Currently empty list produce a crash which is not required as there was no class name mentioned in the list. Please read the bug comments for more information.
