-1: Probably a good idea but not in this form. Most (if not all) of Commons IO uses `IndexOutOfBoundsException` for this type of failure, so if you want to make such a change, it should be done consistently _throughout_ the code, not in just one random location. Currently I see 10 locations that throw `IndexOutOfBoundsException`. The argument against is that the JRE uses `IndexOutOfBoundsException` in methods like `java.io.InputStream.read(byte[], int, int)` and `java.io.BufferedWriter.write(char[], int, int)`, so we have to ask ourselves if we want to diverge from that pattern. IMO, probably. Let's if any one else opines. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
