from spec of
 createBandedRaster(int dataType, int w, int h, int scanlineStride, int[] bankIndices, int[] bandOffsets, Point location),
we have:
 IllegalArgumentException – if scanlineStride is less than 0.

However, when I tried large negative values such as -1000 or Integer.MIN_VALUE, I encountered a java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException instead of the expected IllegalArgumentException.

After reviewing the code, I noticed that the exception is thrown before execution reaches the check for scanlineStride < 0. Specifically, it occurs in the following block:

case DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE:
    d = new DataBufferByte(size, banks);
    break;

As a result, the documented exception behavior is not consistently enforced for all negative values of scanlineStride.



I think this warrants a documentation enhancement to clarify the actual behavior.
