Aside from the inconsistency (which unfortunately always seems to irritate me), it occurs to me that we will end up with stack traces that read like: IllegalArgumentException: position less than zero. at blah(blah.java:101) So, unless anyone objects, can we avoid putting fullstops on the end of exception messages. Thanks, Mark.
