> Last and least: what about DISCOVERY-11? Can we consider "WONTFIX" too? The bug report is not particularly clear. IMO, we should distinguish between the following cases: - The methods Service.providers throws an Exception, due to linkage errors and the like. That would mean that it is completely useless in such cases and we should consider to fix that. The desire should be to return at least one usable provider, if any. - The method Enumeration.hasNextElement() fails. That's a problem, because it means the user cannot skip to a usable element. - The method Enumeration.next() fails. That's not particularly well, but if the user can catch the error and still skip to the next element afterwards, it is acceptable. I agree that exceptions should not be hidden here and we ought to keep compatibility in mind. - The object returned by Enumeration.next() fails: That's not a problem of discovery.
