There is a FileHandler() constructor that uses values from
LogManager. If a user defines an empty pattern in logging.properties file,
LogManager reads it, then FileHandler() throws unspecified
NullPointerException (all other FileHandler constructors throw
IllegalArgumentException in this case). So, the implementation and
specification of FileHandler() must also be updated.

Current behavior is a Null PointerException
