The motivation is that, while we currently cannot even tell what methods are 
missing, with such a NotYetImplementedException and subclasses 
NotYetImplementedException_1_2, NotYetImplementedException_1_3, and 
NotYetImplementedException_1_4 we would be able to write a script similar to 
JAPI tools that gives an overview about how complete Classpath is according 
to a certain JDK specification. We'd like to go through the classes and 
annotate what features are not yet implemented (completely). When we do it 
this way, it is no additional effort to annotate the corresponding 
specification version, which will be some really valueable information in the 
future.


Cheers,

        Andy.
