Hi, Please find below a fix for
8075810: LogManager.readConfiguration may throw undocumented IllegalArgumentException https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8075810 The proposed fix is to catch the IllegalArgumentException and wrap it in an IOException, since LogManager.readConfiguration is specified to throw IOException "if there are problems reading from the stream." http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8075810/webrev.00/ Initial discussion around the issue can be seen here: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2015-March/032348.html Question for reviewers: I will log a CCC for this - but I am wondering whether I should plan to backport the fix to earlier release? best regards, -- daniel
