Hi, I was considering jumping into the JDKRandomGenerator exception discussion, but I did not want to hijack it.
Not sure if any of you have had a chance to looks at this: https://github.com/firefly-math/firefly-math-exceptions/ https://github.com/firefly-math/firefly-math-exceptions/blob/master/src/main/java/com/fireflysemantics/math/exception/MathException.java I think it satisfies everyone's requirements with: - A single MathException (No hierarchy) - The ExceptionTypes Enum contains all the exception types - The ExceptionTypes Enum 'key' maps to the corresponding message 1 to 1 - The ExceptionFactory (Utility) throws exceptions, if necessary, that have always have a single unique root cause, such as NPEs - The context captures the exception parameters keyed by an the 'ExceptionKeys' enum. Each module can introduce more keys as necessary. - The toString() method can be used as the initial exception message The way developers should deal with this exception is: 1) Catch 2) Get the type (Enum) 3) Get the parameters (Context) 4) Get the method that threw it 5) Get the class threw it 6) Rethrow the above in an application specific exception, log it, or display it. Construct a localized message using the enum type to look up the exception template if needed. WDYT? Cheers, - Ole P.S.
