Hi Daniel,

This looks OK but I might suggest clarifying that the cause could be set
in the javadoc.  Now that being said, I am not sure how consistent we
are across the JDK or just make the assumption people will check the
cause if they desire.

Hmmm. I have the feeling that the best place for that would be i the
release notes - rather than in the API doc (which reminds me I should
plan to add some release note text to the issue).

As far as backporting, unless it really needed, I would probably would
not as a change such as this typically should be done as part of an
errata/MR (due to change of behavior and it is not that big of an issue).

Right, my thinking too. Thanks for sharing your opinion!

best regards,

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,
