[jira] [Resolved] (EXEC-64) DefaultExecutor line 372 swallows IOException cause instead of propagating it

["Siegfried Goeschl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-64?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Siegfried Goeschl resolved EXEC-64.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Checked the documentation and

{code}
public IOException(String message, Throwable cause)
{code}

was added with JDK 1.6 but we are currently supporting 1.5+

>                     throw new IOException(e.getMessage());
>                 }
> {noformat}
> when it may be better to do:
> {noformat}
>                 } catch (Exception e) {
>                     throw new IOException(e.getMessage(), e);
>                 }
> {noformat}
> This didn't cause any real issues for me - I just came across it as I was browsing the Commons Exec source, in the context of implementing a launch helper (BTW: see https://github.com/vorburger/MariaDB4j/blob/master/src/main/java/ch/vorburger/exec/ManagedProcess.java - would that, once further cleaned-up, potentially be something of any interest to you for integration into Commons Exec?).
