> {{com.sun.jini.tool.PreferredListGen}} can generate an illegal {{PREFERRED.LIST}} when no preferred default entry is specified and there are no individual preferred entries listed. In this case the utility should add an preferred default entry of {{false}} itself.
> One can also argue whether the semantics for {{net.jini.loader.pref.PreferredClassLoader}} {quote}A preferred list must contain either a default preferred entry or at least one named preferred entry{quote} are not a bit too strict given the fact that no preferred default entry means that all non-matching classes in the list are by default non-preferred, but I guess fixing {{PreferredListGen}}  is easier than going for a specification change which might be logical anyway although not clear to me at this point.
