      throws IllegalArgumentException
                      with an empty String argument in jdk kesrel due to incompatible
                      API change (CCC 4240252).

                      The javadoc for these classes stays silent about IllegalArgumentException.
                      The javadoc for these classes should be fixed to specify
                      IllegalArgumentException.

                      Here is the example demonstrating the bug:
                      ------------- Test04.java -------------------------
                      public class Test04 {

                        public static void main (String argv[]) {
                            new RuntimePermission("");
                            System.out.println("");
                            return;
                        }
                        
                      }
                      ========= Sample run (JDK1.3) ==========
                      java Test04
                      Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: name can't be
                      empty
                              at java.security.BasicPermission.init(BasicPermission.java:83)
                              at java.security.BasicPermission.<init>(BasicPermission.java:115)
                              at java.lang.RuntimePermission.<init>(RuntimePermission.java:271)
                              at Test04.main(Test04.java:4)
