I totally agree, talk about idiosyncrasies getting in the way of the job. Anyway, if someone wants to give it a try, grab this build of javac: http://82.103.135.236/javac.jar And notice there's no problem compiling something like this: public class CheckedExceptionTest{ public static void main(String... args){ Thread.sleep(100); // Throws InteruptedException (checked) try{ System.out.println("Dum da dum, inside try..."); }catch(IOException e){ // Nothing throws IOException } } } /Casper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
