Besides whether or not the method itself is worth adding, I think the main design question if on a name that is not a primitive type the method should return null or throw an exception. The existing forName method have both policies. It seems to me more of a semantic error when using this particular method to give it a non-primitive name so I coded it to throw an exception, but I'd be willing to consider returning null instead. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14743#issuecomment-1615204830
