There are two things in Droids that irk me a little

I doubt anyone here would disagree, so a patch would be readily
accepted.
(2) Retrhrowing exceptions as plain RuntimeException is nasty. I do
not
intend to provoke another instance of checked vs unchecked exceptions
discussion. There are pros and cons to both approaches. However, one
ought not rethrown exceptions as plain RuntimeException. We should
derive a subclass of RuntimeException, call it
DroidsRuntimeException or
re-throw exceptions as a typed exception that can be differentiated
from
other runtime exceptions.
Some would not agree.
My suggestion is submit a patch for (1) and a proposal for (2) and let
lazy consensus do its work.
