In is particular case, what would have been useful is an unchecked exception that said, "Error instantiating com.foo.bar.SomeComponent: 'java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding'" with the original exception chained. I don't see the value in a checked exception here, just more information.
The problem is that the person who wrote the one method up from the code throwing this exception has no idea that this exception can even happen, so it's not until someone gets confused by it that you realize you need to wrap it .... But that's ok, we can all get along anyway.
