Description

For the method java.util.Scanner.nextInt(int radix).

When (radix < Character.MIN_RADIX ) or (radix > Character.MAX_RADIX), Harmony always throws IllegalArgumentException. But RI behaves differently:

• If the parameter is less than 0 or greater than 36, RI throws a
  StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
• If the parameter equals 1, RI throws an InputMismatchException
  with an additional information "The radix 1 is less than the
  Character.MIN_RADIX".
• If the parameter equals 0, RI throws a
  java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException
