How's that different? The only thing you just told me is that you want
to turn "forgot to do something with checked exception" from error to
warning, which is close to a no-op in my book - I can delve into the
eclipse compile settings and change a plethora of problems around from
error to warning to ignore.
The point is this: You *STILL* need a way to say: I know, stop warning
me. Code ought to be warning free (those code shops that ignore
warnings are not places I'm going to work particularly well in!) -
@SuppressWarnings("throws") is a bit drastic as now ANY omission of
handling a checked exception anywhere in this code is going to go by
unnoticed, and it also doesn't help readability because it doesn't
list which particular kind of exception I'm actively going to ignore.
So, we'd need a more specific warning suppression system. Which is
going to look pretty much exactly like throws vs. sneakyThrows.
