> Key: MATH-1340

> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Gilles

>
> Class {{TestUtils}} (in the "test" part of the repository) contains a
> "serializeAndRecover" method that catches "IOException" and
> "ClassNotFoundException" and just returns "null".
> When testing code changes, some unit tests can thus throw
> "NullPointerException". Even if the returned value is checked for "null",
> there is no trace as to what caused it (the original stack trace is lost).
> I propose to wrap the exception in a "RuntimeException" and rethrow it.
