Michael Osipov commented on POOL-269:
-------------------------------------
Looks actually good. About source compat, this can be changed with 2.3 (minor).
What do you think?
> Specialize useless throws 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
>
> 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.
