Description

Some methods catch IOExceptions and rethrow them in other RuntimeException based exceptions (IllegalStateException, IllegalArgumentException).

The JRE offers a standard for this usecase: java.io.UncheckedIOException

In one case a SecurityException would be hidden. This is awfull if you're trying to find the right set of permissions to make the SecurityManager work. The default must be to rethrow them.
