public class ThrowFactory<E extends Throwable,T extends E>
extends Object

An exception factory. This is mostly used in utility classes that want to centralize, and abstract away the type of exception thrown when an error condition is met. In practice, this means that the parameterized type T will be a RuntimeException subclass.

Note:

I have changed my mind about checked exceptions: I now think they are a bad idea.
