Hi Jesse,
Yes in early Harmony development, we have an agreement that we will
follow RI's behavior to make Harmony compatible to serve more application as
possible - which includes exceptions etc (unless RI does break spec or is
not logical). So I believe there are many testcases checking such
exceptions.
Jesse, I am not against this proposal, but I wonder if it will be a
large mount of work to split them all (unless we found an automatic
solution, e.g, searching the test source for try-catch).
