Re: RFR [9] 8039470:URLConnection.getContent incorrectly specifies the default location of content handler classes

[Michael McMahon]

Is there potential for confusion there? <system default package> really just
means an "implementation defined" package rather than the Java 
language's "default package"?

   "If no content handler factory has yet been set up, or if the factory's 
createContentHandler method
     returns null, then the application loads the class named:
          sun.net.www.content.&lt;contentType> "

This should be changed to something like:
     <system default package>.<contentType>, similar to what is done in URL [1]
