Before I go looking stupid in front of folks I don't know, I prefer to first look stupid in front of people I do :-)
So - what's up with this thing extending OBJECT?! The compiler doesn't track that really well! I just noticed because I coded some stuff I knew should throw exceptions - expecting the compiler to tell me exactly what it was I needed to catch (I know, I know - I was feeling lazy) ... and - it *didn't*! I don't think I like that :-/ I suppose this is a prime example of why you familiarize yourself with the Javadocs before using a class ... or keep the javadoc up while you code even ... Dare I post to commons-dev? That seems like ... a "really big thing" - am I wrong? I'm hoping someone can set me straight. I know some of you guys follow the commons stuff ... very rigorously. ... why OBJECT? Exception wasn't good enough for them? ... I just don't get it. Thanks for being my shining light! (D'oh! Hope that's not a train coming!) (It just *feels* so *wrong*!) -- Eddie Bush -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
