[General]Is there an agreement on different order of throwing Exceptions between RI and Harmony?

[Tony Wu <wu...@gmail.com>]

I noticed there are many JIRA issues [1] about Exception order. Some of them
were fixed whereas others were marked as non-bug difference.
I wonder which kind of Exception order problem should be fixed, and which
type should be left as non-bug difference.
Is there any agreement? I suggest setting one if not.

HARMONY-1214
HARMONY-1215
HARMONY-1240
HARMONY-1082

And, based on the agreement of exception-throwing compability issue,  I
think most those JIRAs can fall into guideline2:"*Follow the Reference
Implementation* "

Because in most situation, the order of throwing Exceptions is not
restricted in spec, and almost any order is reasonable. So we can just
follow RI in most JIRAs. And maybe few special cases need to be discussed.

Tony, we have got an agreement on exception-throwing compability issue[1].

But of course it's always OK to discuss any specific case.

But there are cases you can never follow RI on the order of the 
exceptions they thrown. I encounter this situation when developing 
java.util.Formatter.
So I suggest (*try* :-) ) to follow guide line cited by Andrew. Where 
it's impossible, just let it go.
