jbInit and exception

[Yin99]

JBuilder declares the GUI building method "jbInit()" with "throws"
keyword so you have to surround it with try catch.

My question, is this necessary? I would like to get rid of throws
keyword, and call jbInit() with no exception handling. Are exceptions
such a common issue when drawing a swing GUI that it is wise to have
this "throws" in jbInit? Thanks,

This is Borland's interpretation of the beans interface, so they can hook
up to their GUI builder. If you don't like it, you are more than welcome
to merge the jbInit into your constructor.

The exception handling is there to catch initialization errors. If you are
confident with your program, you can remove it, but your program is now
more vulnerable to unanticipated errrors. Especially if you are relying on
Borland's gui builder to produce good code.

Exceptions are the only mechanisms to report errors in constructors, as
there is no return value from a constructor. You can surround 'new'
statements with try/catch and exceptions that you wish to handle can
be dealt with.
