I submitted a proposal "lone throws" for Project Lambda to add a language feature to allow checked exceptions more easily - http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2010-June/001544.html http://www.jroller.com/scolebourne/entry/exception_transparency_and_lone_throws - It was considered and rejected. I believe that Brian Goetz is very much in favour of checked exceptions, thus I'm not expecting Oracle's opinion to change any time soon sadly.
