On: The trouble with Checked Exceptions (C# architect)

[lenkite]

The Java Programming Language's checked exception feature is fundamentally broken. All newer Java specifications have acknowledged this and utilize un-checked exceptions.

All but one (and arguably the most important) Android.

Android is full of brand new checked exceptions.

And I do what I always do with checked exceptions:

    catch (e) {
      throw new RuntimeExeception(e);
    }

(you can't keep adding throws clauses because the compiler won't let you add them if the interface you implement can't handle them).
