                         throws IllegalArgumentException

Override java.langClassLoader package definition method to prevent null values in java.lang.Package attributes. The JPF classloader does not process the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF files inside Jars that contain metadata about the library. Null values can cause some libraries such as JAI to fail since they require non-null, but arbitrary, meta-data to instantiate properly.

Overrides:

definePackage in class ClassLoader

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException
