Hi Sean,

Thanks, I have changed the bug synopsis as well as CSR title and content accordingly. Please find more comments inline...

I would change the Bug summary to describe what is being proposed. Since two new exceptions are being specified in the constructor, I would suggest: "Specify the exceptions that can be thrown by the javax.crypto.Cipher constructor".

I would tweak the Problem section to note that an undocumented NPE can be thrown in more than one case

"The protected constructor of javax.crypto.Cipher class throws an undocumented NullPointerException when the provider argument is null and the cipherSpi argument is invalid but not null."

After looking into the impl code of the underlying check, I removed the part of cipherSpi argument. The actual check is performed on the call stack instead of the specified cipherSpi argument. This is to catch the case where caller passes a trusted provider (not its own provider) into the constructor. Kind of hard to explain and probably too much detail for javadoc specification, so that's why the proposed text isn't very specific and used the term "invalid" as a catch-all.

Thanks,
Valerie

+     * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the supplied arguments
+     *         are deemed invalid for constructing the Cipher object

This is unspecified as to what invalid actually means, but I guess it is probably best to not specify anything more specific. It may make sense to add an @implNote as a follow-on issue as to what validation is being done by the JDK implementation.

Looks fine.

I made a couple of minor changes but otherwise looks good.
