Checked exceptions remain a debatable point. Some people like them, some don't. A lot of viewpoints depends on the background of the specific people. There is no correct answer, however.

Hello Groovy community!
Is there some tool like groovyc warning / IDEA inspections / CodeNarc
that will report situation when some method declares exception but you
(a method user) don't re-declare nor catch it.

I find it extremely useful. Because if for Groovy are exceptions are
unchecked, it effectively negates all benefits of have exceptions. To be
honest exceptions are the only part of Java that I really miss in Groovy.

The benefit of exceptions is not, that you are then reminded of having to catch them, but that they allow you to jump out of faulty code to error handling places. But anyway.. no, the compiler does not check that. I guess you could write a transform or an extension to the type checker to add such a check. But there are no plans for anything like that atm
