Hold it right there :-) There's an open issue about BufferedWriter
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029804 So in this case what we've added in the @throws for java.io.BufferedWriter#write(java.lang.String, int, int) directly contradicts what it states two paragraphs above, doesn't it? * <p> If the value of the {@code len} parameter is negative then no * characters are written. This is contrary to the specification of this * method in the {@linkplain java.io.Writer#write(java.lang.String,int,int) * superclass}, which requires that an {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException} be * thrown. That doesn't look good. > On 10 May 2016, at 14:48, Roger Riggs <roger.ri...@oracle.com> wrote: > > Looks good Brian, > > Thanks > > > On 5/10/2016 5:36 AM, Chris Hegarty wrote: >> On 10 May 2016, at 00:29, Brian Burkhalter <brian.burkhal...@oracle.com> >> wrote: >> >>> Hi Roger, >>> >>> So modified: >>> >>> http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8130679/webrev.01/ >> This looks good to me. >> >> I have to admit that I reviewed the current wording in Reader.read, but on >> reflection it would be better to update it to reflect this wording.
