throws Exception ?????

[Steve Cohen <st...@comcast.net>]

I must admit I am surprised to see that many key methods of Velocity 
such as Velocity.init() and Velocity.mergeTemplate() have a signature 
includes that includes "throws Exception" which is what I would be 
tempted to consider a beginner's mistake.  Certainly Joshua Bloch in 
"Effective Java" indicates his distaste for the practice and it's 
something I always try to avoid in my code.

Can someone explain why Velocity does it this way and an effective 
strategy for wrapping this ugliness away someplace?
