Sebb commented on POOL-268:
---------------------------
Here is one of the methods in java.lang.Integer:
{code}
public static int parseInt(String s) throws NumberFormatException
{code}
That is an RTE and it's recoverable in many cases.
> Remove throws <RuntimeException> from all method signatures

> 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.
