JDK-8155874 - Fix java.desktop deprecation warnings about Class.newInstance
Description
Test api/javax_swing/UIManager/index.html\#Methods is failing due to java.lang.InstantiationException.
Comments
This is something that won't affect real code. It is only failing in the case when the caller is doing something that would cause a failure in previous releases. It is just the precise reason for the failure that is different. The method setLookAndFeel(String className) declares that - amongst other exceptions - it may throw InstantiationException or IllegalAccessException. This conformance test appears to be expecting IllegalAccessException but instead gets InstantiationException. Previously the code just propagated whatever Class.newInstance() threw. We can probably revert to doing that.
