FWIW I think this could be closed out as "not a bug".
An empty value string is an error and the spec. says AWTError is
how errors are reported. In fact I'll argue that 8 was wrong not
to have thrown an exception in such a case.
It was an accident of the implementation that it did not.
But if we want to be behaviourally compatible then ...
Note that since you now document this you need an approved CSR BEFORE
pushing it.
And if you go the CSR route you may need to be more precise about what
you mean by "empty".
I think it needs to say
"If the list of assistive technology providers is null, or contains only
white
space characters then the method returns immediately.
All other errors are handled by throwing {@code AWTError}"
@throws AWTError if there is any error in parsing or loading the ATs.

Another point is that the whitespace trimming should not trigger additional input processing for
the custom class that will be used for assistive technology. For eg., if custom class
"FooProvider" is implemented and if we pass " FooProvider " by mistake, a bug
may be created to trim the whitespace in this case as well!!
Yes, my previous email suggested to always trim the content of the "input", it will cover all
cases, the "atNames" is empty, the "atNames" contains only the whitespace, or the name of
the class has some spaces at the start/end.

We need one way to tell the system not to load any assistive technologies and
which is being provided.
If we add trailing white spaces removal then we may need to add another
functionality to see if that class exists or not and based on that not to load
anything(without throwing the error because we are parsing the input content).
I think that would take a different direction. I feel it is fair enough to
provide one way to tell not to load any assistive technologies and additional
parsing would only lead to other ways/expectations.

I guess you meant whitespaces, then it is unclear why we should not consider "empty"
parameter as a "mistake"?

Hi Sergey, I felt that a string with an empty space is intentional and should
be considering it as a 'mistake' if done by the developers. Hence I feel it is
not required(as there is a way to tell nothing to load). Please let me know if
you think otherwise.
Thanks and regards,

Hi, Shashi.
Should we trim all whitespaces from the "atNames"?
Otherwise the "atNames", which contains only one whitespace, will trigger the
same error.

Hi, Shashi.
I think you can update an existing test:
open/test/jdk/javax/accessibility/AccessibilityProvider/basic.sh

Hi All, Please review a fix for the below bug.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8216008
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sveerabhadra/8216008/webrev.00/
Since the mentioned list of assistive technologies for the system
property(javax.accessibility.assistive_technologies) is loaded by jvm am unable
to write a test case for this bug. The test file attached with the bug can be
used for testing this fix.
This fix removes the error(class not found error) by passing an empty list to
system variable javax.accessibility.assistive_technologies and does not load
any assistive technologies(as the list is empty). Currently empty list produce
a crash which is not required as there was no class name mentioned in the list.
Please read the bug comments for more information.
Thanks and regards,
Shashi
