Hi Pavel,

Good catch, the javadoc needs to match the code and in this case the new language does not match the code. Some cases are harder to follow because they delegate
to other classes for copying.

It may also be the case that since Writer.write(char[], off, len) is abstract, it cannot enforce the contract consistently on all subclasses and something special will be needed for that javadoc.

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.

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. But that is 
a
separate, lower priority, issue.

Thanks,

Brian

Yes, I think that works well.

So do you think that this form for example:

(common prefix)
     * @throws  IndexOutOfBoundsException
     *          If {@code off} is negative, or {@code len} is negative,
     *          or {@code off + len} is negative or greater than the length
