- <div class="byline">To boldly throw checked exceptions where no one has thrown them before!</div>
- <div class="overview">
- <h3>Overview</h3>
- <p>
- <code>@SneakyThrows</code> can be used to sneakily throw checked exceptions without actually declaring this in your method's <code>throws</code>
- clause. This somewhat contentious ability should be used carefully, of course. The code generated by lombok will not ignore, wrap, replace,
- or otherwise modify the thrown checked exception; it simply fakes out the compiler. On the JVM (class file) level, all exceptions, checked or not,
- can be thrown regardless of the <code>throws</code> clause of your methods, which is why this works.
- </p><p>
- Common use cases for when you want to opt out of the checked exception mechanism center around 2 situations:<br /><ul>
- <li>A needlessly strict interface, such as <code>Runnable</code> - whatever exception propagates out of your <code>run()</code> method,
- checked or not, it will be passed to the <code>Thread</code>'s unhandled exception handler. Catching a checked exception and wrapping it
- in some sort of <code>RuntimeException</code> is only obscuring the real cause of the issue.</li>
- <li>An 'impossible' exception. For example, <code>new String(someByteArray, "UTF-8");</code> declares that it can throw an
- <code>UnsupportedEncodingException</code> but according to the JVM specification, UTF-8 <em>must</em> always be available. An
- <code>UnsupportedEncodingException</code> here is about as likely as a <code>ClassNotFoundError</code> when you use a String object,
- and you don't catch those either!</li></ul>
- </p><p>
- Be aware that it is <em>impossible</em> to catch sneakily thrown checked types directly, as javac will not let you write a catch block
- for an exception type that no method call in the try body declares as thrown. This problem is not relevant in either of the use cases listed
- above, so let this serve as a warning that you should not use the <code>@SneakyThrows</code> mechanism without some deliberation!
- </p><p>
- You can pass any number of exceptions to the <code>@SneakyThrows</code> annotation. If you pass no exceptions, you may throw any
- exception sneakily.
- </p><p>
- <em>NOTE: </em> with lombok versions older than 0.10, unlike other lombok transformations, you need to put <strong>lombok.jar</strong> on your
- classpath when you run your program.

- <h3>Small print</h3><div class="smallprint">
- <p>
- Because <code>@SneakyThrows</code> is an implementation detail and not part of your method signature, it is an error if you try to
- declare a checked exception as sneakily thrown when you don't call any methods that throw this exception. (Doing so is perfectly legal
- for <code>throws</code> statements to accommodate subclasses). Similarly, <code>@SneakyThrows</code> does not inherit.
- </p><p>
- For the nay-sayers in the crowd: Out of the box, Eclipse will offer a 'quick-fix' for uncaught exceptions that wraps the offending
- statement in a try/catch block with just <code>e.printStackTrace()</code> in the catch block. This is so spectacularly non-productive
- compared to just sneakily throwing the exception onwards, that Roel and Reinier feel more than justified in claiming that the
- checked exception system is far from perfect, and thus an opt-out mechanism is warranted.
- </p><p>
- If you put <code>@SneakyThrows</code> on a constructor, any call to a sibling or super constructor is <em>excluded</em> from the <code>@SneakyThrows</code> treatment. This is a
- java restriction we cannot work around: Calls to sibling/super constructors MUST be the first statement in the constructor; they cannot be placed inside try/catch blocks.
- </p><p>
- <code>@SneakyThrows</code> on an empty method, or a constructor that is empty or only has a call to a sibling / super constructor results in no try/catch block and a warning.
