Michael Osipov commented on POOL-268: ------------------------------------- Conditions must be documented in Javadoc, not thrown. Runtime exceptions aren't recoverable so there is no point in throwing them explicitly. > Remove throws <RuntimeException> from all method signatures > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: POOL-268 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/POOL-268 > Project: Commons Pool > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Michael Osipov > > Unfortunately, many signatures carry a {{throws <RuntimeException>}} like > {{IllegalStateException}}, etc. This is incorrect. A runtime exception never > appears in the signature but only in the Javadocs because runtime exception > indicate a programming error. > This violates against Java programming rules and Joshua Bloch's Effective > Java. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
