Blasted Checked Exceptions

Argh You Checked Exceptions!!!!

Finally someone makes the case against the bastards in a clear way: http://java.dzone.com/articles/checked-exceptions-i-love-you

The Citigroup SSO was the only project I worked on that did this. Basically every exception was a RuntimeException - and would redirect you to a standard error page - and log the problem. That's it - this isn't a pickup game of softball - why do I have to catch and rethrow?
