> Too many methods say {{throws Exception}} in their signature. This is neither helpful nor good API design. You never know what the exception is and where it came from.
> An exception translation pattern has to be applied to make code usable, e.g., like the Spring project does or Maven with {{BuildException}}.
> Unfortunately, this ugly practive has prevailed in several Apache projects like Lucene.
