Operating System: 
 OS - Ubuntu Development Release - Oneiric Ocelot

java -version:
 java version "1.6.0_22"
 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre2-0ubuntu2)
 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

Prior to 6b23 com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.ImageFormatException extended
RuntimeException rather than Exception so it did not need to be caught
or declared as throw in code that was using this internal API.

>= 6b23 is class extends Exception - this has caused a couple of build
failures in packages that use this package - see linked bug report in
Ubuntu.

This change was introduced with changeset
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/rev/8720a7df46e3?revcount=120

It would appear that this makes the IcedTea6 implementation API
different from the original Java 1.5 API for this class.

What disturbs me is that this is not yet in a release of IcedTea6 yet,
but you seem to have acquired it via an Ubuntu package.

Thanks for looking at this and apologies for the confusion - this is
probably my ignorance of how IcedTea and OpenJDK/OracleJDK related to
each other - I was purely going on the version number of the Ubuntu
package.

This is in the latest development release for Ubuntu; I guess that
having the pre release of 1.11 helps flush out this sort of bug.

IcedTea builds a specific OpenJDK build drop with additional patches and
extensions to make it usable.  This ID is even more confusing because
there is no b23 of OpenJDK6 yet.  Both IcedTea6 1.10 and the forthcoming
1.11 are still using b22.  So I don't know where this 'b23' is coming
from...:-S

I ran a full comparison:

http://fuseyism.com/japi/jpeg-icedtea6-oracle.html

and fixed up some other differences too.  As far as I can tell, the
exception reports in the above are either wrong or undocumented.  The
1.5 docs for the package state that these exceptions are thrown.  All
the other issues I've fixed and I'm building the result now.  Will post
here once the commit is in.

If this is an Ubuntu pre-release, then it's understandable but it would
still be good of them to keep us in the loop.  It shouldn't go out in a
released Ubuntu as we only provide security updates for releases, not
random snapshots.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for fixing this issue; this change has now landed in the Ubuntu
development release and has resolved the issues that I was having with
this API.

Cheers

Title:
  FTBFS against openjdk-6 6b23 due to internal Sun API changes.

Status in OpenJDK:
  Fix Released
Status in “batik” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  batik makes use of internal sun(oracle) API's for creation of TIFF and
  JPEG images.

  com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.ImageFormatException prior to 6b23 extended
  RuntimeException which means that code does not need to throw or catch
  this exception; however in 6b23 this class now extends Exception which
  means that it now need to be caught or declared as thrown by calling
  code.
