But isn't it conceivable that the static dial was placed a tad too high when it comes to checked exceptions? As you say yourself, tools can easily detect these things (and so much more) so we should just make this part of general lint tools. The moment idioms are born, or you require code completion tools, to get stuff done in the primary code path, things have gotten a bit too nannyish. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
