[jira] Commented: (LANG-585) exception.DefaultExceptionContext.getFormattedExceptionMessage catches Throwable

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-585?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12829037#action_12829037 ] 

Sebb commented on LANG-585:
---------------------------

Also fixed Javadoc that referred to Throwable:

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=906015&view=rev
Log:
LANG-585. Don't suggest catching Throwable, catch Exception instead.

> It's generally a bad idea to catch Throwable.
> The getFormattedExceptionMessage method should be changed to catch less; e.g. Exception + RuntimeException should be adequate.
> The Javadoc examples in ContextedException and ContextedRuntimeException suggest catching Throwable; these examples should be changed too.
