Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-3562:
--------------------------------------------------
I believe replacing a "throws X" with a "throws A, B" where A and B are
subclasses of X is a backwards compatible change, at least if X is a checked
exception. But semver doesn't seem to agree with me here.
> Avoid throwing UIMAException
> ----------------------------

> Key: UIMA-3562
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3562
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: uimaFIT
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0uimaFIT
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Assignee: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.3.0uimaFIT
>
>
> uimaFIT throws a UIMAException in several places, apparently to avoid
> separate throws clauses for AnalysisEngineException,
> ResourceInitializationException and the likes. This is not good, because the
> different kinds of problems that can occur are somewhat hidden from a person
> using methods throwing UIMAException. It would be better to declare each
> exception separately.
> Examples:
> * CpePipeline.runPipeline
> * SimplePipeline.runPipeline
> * JCasFactory.createJCas
