XMLWordPrintable

    • b46
    • x86
    • windows_xp, windows_vista

        Please add the property java.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort to the list
        of secure properties.
        This would allow smoother migration from 6 to 7

        Synopsis: Updated sort behavior for Arrays and Collections may throw an IllegalArgumentException
        Description: The sorting algorithm used by java.util.Arrays.sort and (indirectly) by java.util.Collections.sort has been replaced. The new sort implementation may throw an IllegalArgumentException if it detects a Comparable that violates the Comparable contract. The previous implementation silently ignored such a situation.
        If the previous behavior is desired, you can use the new system property, java.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort, to restore previous mergesort behavior.
        Nature of Incompatibility: behavioral
        RFE: 6804124
