--------------------------------------------

Okay, we can change this.

Is there a concrete Configuration class you have trouble with or is the purpose 
of this issue just to avoid pitfalls when creating new Configuration 
implementations derived from AbstractConfiguration?

> AbstractConfiguration should handle UnsupportedOperationExceptions in 
> Iterator.remove() gracefully

> Hi,
> In AbstractConfiguration method clear() on line 533 (see code below) a 
> possible UnsupportedOperationException is not caught resulting in the 
> malfunctioning of the whole method. However, the documentation of the 
> getKeys() method itself warns about relying on the remove() method of 
> interface Iterator. The clear() method should not propagate that exception, 
> it should catch it and try the clearProperty(String) approach if the remove() 
> method is not supported.
>             Iterator it = getKeys();
>             while (it.hasNext())
>             {
>                 String key = (String) it.next();
>                 it.remove();                                          
> <------- EVIL!
>                 if (containsKey(key))
>                 {
>                     // workaround for Iterators that do not remove the 
> property on calling remove()
>                     clearProperty(key);
>                 }
> Best regards,
> Michael
