you know what I really hate?

[Andy Fish]

it's stuff like this:

try {
...
...
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("An Exception happened");
throw new Exception("an exception happened")
}

 

[Joona I Palaste]

it's stuff like this:

try {
...
...
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("An Exception happened");
throw new Exception("an exception happened")
}

I suspect it's good for debugging, but even then it could be like this:

try {
...
...
}
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("An Exception happened");
throw ex;
}

Note that the stack trace of an exception starts at where the exception
object was constructed, not where it was thrown.

 

[Peter Kirk]

it's stuff like this:

try {
...
...
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("An Exception happened");
throw new Exception("an exception happened")
}

Writing to System.out?
Catching "Exception"?
Catching Exception and then throwing a new Exception?
Not logging/displaying/using the actual exception message?
Not putting the curly braces on new lines?
Not putting a semicolon at the end of throw new Exception?
Dots inside a try block?

Having a bad day?
