Summary: Use generic exceptions instead of java.lang.Exception (was: Use a
generic exception instead of Exception)
> Use generic exceptions instead of java.lang.Exception
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: POOL-269
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/POOL-269
> Project: Commons Pool
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Assignee: Gary D. Gregory
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.12.0
>
>
> Too many methods say {{throws Exception}} in their signature. This is neither
> helpful nor good API design. You never know what the exception is and where
> it came from.
> An exception translation pattern has to be applied to make code usable, e.g.,
> like the Spring project does or Maven with {{BuildException}}.
> Unfortunately, this ugly practive has prevailed in several Apache projects
> like Lucene.
