Replace a checked exception with a runtime exception?

Question

Given that I basically want to eliminate checked exception usage and transform them to runtime exceptions, I would normally be doing something like this:

try {
          


        

Answer 1

class IORuntimeException extends RuntimeException {

    final IOException ioex;

    public IORuntimeException(IOException ioex) {
        this.ioex = ioex;
    }

    @Override
    public String getMessage() {
        return ioex.getMessage();
    }

    @Override
    public StackTraceElement[] getStackTrace() {
        return ioex.getStackTrace();
    }

    //@Override
    // ...
}

(Full class available here, as produced by Eclipse "Generate Delegate Methods" macro.)

Usage:

try {
    ...
} catch (IOException ioex) {
    throw new IORuntimeException(ioex);
}
