In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Why MalformedPatternException doesn't extend from RuntimeException?
So that malformed dynamically generated regular expressions--such as those entered by an application user or read from a file--that are passed along to a pattern compiler--don't crash your application. In such an instance, a malformed expression is a non-fatal recoverable error. If you're using only hard-coded statically defined patterns, then this won't be apparent immediately. There is great disagreement about the utility of checked exceptions, likely fueled by their profligate presence in the Java core APIs. I do not wish to rekindle that debate. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
