  The factory methods of the class javax.imageio.ImageTypeSpecifier
return a specifier that will use some ColorModel and some SampleModel.
These methods try to create corresponding ColorModel and SampleModel.
In some cases creation leads to throwing unspecified exceptions because
of improper parameters.

  From my point of view, all parameter restrictions should be specified,
and only IllegalArgumentException should be thrown when these 
restrictions are violated.

Here is the list of revealed unspecified exceptions.
------------------------------
createPacked(colorSpace, redMask, greenMask, blueMask, alphaMask, transferType, 
isAlphaPremultiplied)

- NullPointerException if colorSpace is null;
- IllegalArgumentException: ColorSpace must be TYPE_RGB.
if colorSpace = ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY);
- IllegalArgumentException: There must be at least one component with > 0 pixel 
bits.
if redMask, greenMask, blueMask and alphaMask are zero;
- IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported dataType: -1
if transferType is -1;

------------------------------
createInterleaved(colorSpace, bandOffsets, dataType, hasAlpha, 
isAlphaPremultiplied)

- NullPointerException if colorSpace is null;
- NullPointerException if bandOffsets is null;
- IllegalArgumentException: Offsets between bands must be less than the scanline  
stride
if bandOffsets = {0,100,1000,99999};
- llegalArgumentException: Number of color/alpha components should be 4 but 
length of bits array is 0
if bandOffsets = {};

------------------------------
createBanded(colorSpace, bankIndices, bandOffsets, dataType, hasAlpha, 
isAlphaPremultiplied)

- NullPointerException if colorSpace is null;
- llegalArgumentException: Number of color/alpha components should be 4 but 
length of bits array is 0
if bandOffsets = {}; bankIndices = {};
- IllegalArgumentException: dataType = 9999
if  dataType is 99999; 

------------------------------
createGrayscale(bits, dataType, isSigned)
createGrayscale(bits, dataType, isSigned, isAlphaPremultiplied)

- IllegalArgumentException: Number of bits must be between 1 and 16. 
if bits = 100;
- java.awt.image.RasterFormatException: MultiPixelPackedSampleModel does not
allow pixels to span data element boundaries
if bits = 10; dataType = DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE; 
- IllegalArgumentException: Unknown data type 100
if dataType = 100;

------------------------------
createIndexed(redLUT, greenLUT, blueLUT, alphaLUT, bits, dataType)

- IllegalArgumentException: Number of pixel bits must be > 0 
if bits = 0;
- IllegalArgumentException: Number of bits must be between 1 and 16.
if bits = 17;
- java.awt.image.RasterFormatException: MultiPixelPackedSampleModel does 
not allow pixels to span data element boundaries, if
    redLUT = {0}; 
    greenLUT = {0}; 
    blueLUT = {0}; 
    alphaLUT = {0}; 
    bits = 10;
    dataType = DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE;
- ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if
    byte[] redLUT = {1};
    byte[] greenLUT = {};
    byte[] blueLUT = {1,2,3};
- IllegalArgumentException: Map size (0) must be >= 1, if
    byte[] redLUT = {};
    byte[] greenLUT = {1};
    byte[] blueLUT = {1,2,3};
- ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if
    byte[] redLUT = {1};
    byte[] greenLUT = {1};
    byte[] blueLUT = {1,2,3};
    byte[] alphaLUT = {};
- IllegalArgumentException: Unknown data type 100
if dataType = 100;
