I've added my recommended text for an apiNote as a comment in the bug report: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8296935?focusedCommentId=14555728&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14555728 Even though this is non-normative text, I'd say it still requires a CSR to document the decision that this issue is NOT a conformance issue. That is, even though the various List methods are documented to throw certain runtime exceptions in various circumstances, an implementation is permitted to throw other runtime exceptions without violating the specification. The flip side is that it's good practice for method specifications to specify what exceptions are thrown in what circumstances, but it's not required for them to specify all exceptions in all circumstances. Indeed, in this specific case, it seems unreasonable to add throwing of ArrayStoreException to all the List methods because of this one edge case of this particular implementation. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12135
