		<p>
			This lombok spinoff project consists of a hack that only works in javac - not eclipse or any other IDE.<br />
			It will completely disable the notion of checked exceptions. You may throw any exception anywhere, and you may also catch any exception anywhere. In standard javac, you may not catch a checked exception that is not declared as thrown by at least 1 statement in your try block, unless it is <code>Exception</code> or <code>Throwable</code>.<br />
			This restriction is lifted as well.
		</p>

		<h2 class="text-center">Usage</h2>

		<p>
			Just make sure <code>disableCheckedExceptions-alpha.jar</code> is on the classpath as you compile. For example:<br />
			<code>javac -cp disableCheckedExceptions-alpha.jar MySource.java</code>
		</p><p>
			Ready to try it out? download it here: <a href="/downloads/disableCheckedExceptions-alpha.jar">disableCheckedExceptions-alpha.jar</a>
		</p><p>
			Want to know how its done? Grab the lombok repository <a href="https://github.com/rzwitserloot/lombok/tree/disableCheckedExceptions">here on github</a>, and look in the <code>experimental</code> directory.
