Class-File API actually throws wide variety of exceptions based on the actual situation. Complete error handling code must cover `IndexOutOfBoundsException`, `IllegalStateException` and `IllegalArgumentException`.
Based on previous discussions we decided to consolidate on `IllegalArgumentException` with possible sub-classes. It allows easy common error handling in majority of use case, however it allows also to distinguish source of the error when needed (for example `javap` needs to know if the exception comes from constant poll or not). Newly introduced `ConstantPoolException` extends `IllegalArgumentException` to indicate the source of the problem is in constant pool. Please review.
