IMO:

Catching Exception would be pretty similar to having methods with parameters that are never more specific of a class than Object; Sure you can do it but is it really the best decision 9 out of 10 times?

What you should consider doing to simplify your code some is Catch exceptions at the highest definition that is relevant.

For instance, in java I would

try{...}
catch( IOException e ) {...}

to catch all IO related exceptions.

There are too many things that can throw too many different types of exceptions, you typically should avoid using the catch-all that is Exception.
