Logging APIs specification (draft 0.55) doesn't state constructors
of the FileHandler class to throw IOException.

The following simple test reveals that FileHandler constructors
signature includes a "throws IOException".

I think this is a spec bug the same as 4381189.

Test.java source:

import java.util.logging.*;

class Test {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        new FileHandler();
        new FileHandler("Test");
        new FileHandler("Test", 1024, 3);
        
    }

}

Test.java compilation log:

Test.java:7: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
        new FileHandler();
        ^
Test.java:8: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
        new FileHandler("Test");
        ^
Test.java:9: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
        new FileHandler("Test", 1024, 3);
        ^
3 errors

The same problem occurs also for the following constructors:

    SocketHandler()
    SocketHandler(String, int)

Source and log follows:

import java.util.logging.*;

class Test2 {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        new SocketHandler();
        new SocketHandler("localhost", 777);
                
    }

}

Test2.java:7: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
        new SocketHandler();
        ^
Test2.java:8: unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
        new SocketHandler("localhost", 777);
        ^
2 errors
