Martin Buchholz said the following on 07/08/09 02:33:
+ * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the natural order of the array + * elements is found to violate the {@link Comparable} contract
So the proposed spec does not and cannot require any exception to be thrown. What is proposed is if the implementation happens to check for violations and if it chooses to throw an exception, then IAE is the exception type that will be used. Perhaps someone could come up with clearer wording than "is found to violate"?
How about:
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if this implementation detects* that the natural order of the array elements violates the* {@link Comparable} contract
