I think you missed the point. I don't think Reinier was advocating
always rethrowing exceptions as RuntimeException, just that that's the
logic that IDEs should autogenerate. I'd much rather have eclipse
generate (by default)
catch (CheckedEx e) {
// TODO add handling logic
throw new RuntimeException("missing handler", e);
}
than
catch (CheckedEx e) {
// TODO add handling logic
}
Obviously you need to fix the handling, but if (as is inevitable)
someone forgets, you're much better off with the first form than the
second.
