That makes it even easier for people uninterested in the exception to
suppress it as the minimum effort to make their code compile. Someone would
then have to systematically go back later and make sure each exception is
handled properly. It would be better if the minimum effort was something
like
void myMethod() throws private IOException {
f.open();
etc();
}
which would compile to
void myMethod() {
try {
f.open();
etc();
}
catch (IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
