So for something like below, should i be throwing a InternalErrorException?
Where is the InternalErrorException class?
private static void checkPermissions(File file) {
if (!file.canRead())
throw new RuntimeException("The file " + file.getAbsolutePath()
+ " does not have read permissions. Please add read permission");
if (!file.canWrite()) {
throw new RuntimeException("The file " + file.getAbsolutePath()
+ " does not have write permissions. Please add write permission");
}
}

Agreed. Useful and informative runtime exceptions should be left as
is. But, I also think that we should wrap exceptions that would make
no sense to the bean developer. For example, when calling a session
context getBusinessObject, that method could theoretically throw an
IllegalAccessException when it returns a proxy to the business
object. I think that it should be wrapped with another runtime
exception such as InternalErrorException.
