First up apologies for anyone who had to merge my work from the weekend, I did it then in the hope it didn't effect anyone too much, on the bright side we did remove about 200 "days" of technical debt from Sonar, only 1200 to go......
Anyway! Here's one for you guys, https://analysis.apache.org/component_issues?id=org.apache.oodt%3Aoodt#resolved=false|severities=MAJOR|rules=pmd%3APreserveStackTrace Now I may not have been around in the Java world for as long as some people but we are catching exceptions all over the place and masking the true cause..... can anyone explain why? >From my perspective its bad practice even without Sonar telling me, IBM also seems to agree: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21386753 We have enough issues debugging random errors as it is, munging the exception into another exception seems a bit crazy to me.
