A new patch generated using the latest version of webrev is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8154183/webrev.01/
I have addressed the various editorial comments except with respect to capitalizing the first word after the exception name and ending the @throws description with a period: I have made the new @throws clauses consistent with other such clauses already present in the same method. In some case this means starting with lower case, in others upper case; likewise in some cases there are periods at the end, in other cases not.
