[cp-patches] FYI:Throwing different exception in gnu/java/rmi/server/UnicastRef.java

[Meskauskas Audrius]

The Sun's implementation throws java.rmi.ConnectException (subclass of 
RemoteException) in the case of failure to establish the connection. Our 
implementation throws the  RemoteException itself. This crashes 
applications that specifically catch ConnectException. In Classpath, 
this exception is thrown from gnu/java/rmi/server/UnicastRef.java 
(newCall).

   * gnu/java/rmi/server/UnicastRef.java (newCall):
   Throw ConnectException after catching IOException.
