Really? I did the exact same thing and got an error during
compilation. It must be a stricter IDE specific compiler.
I'm not sure that we can count on that continuing to be the
case forever though.
No, but they have to change the Java language spec for it to
happen:

"The runtime exception classes (RuntimeException and its
subclasses) are exempted from compile-time checking"
Ok. You learn something new every day. So then the compiler that
forced me to check those exceptions was overzealous or in violation
of the Java spec.
