> The annotation @ShouldThrowException is expressive enough to be understood as meaning a generic Exception will be thrown (during deployment) unless a more specific exception is specified.
> Therefore, a default should be specified for the value attribute such that:
> @ShouldThrowException == @ShouldThrowException(Exception.class)
> Here's the resulting annotation definition:
> {code:java}
> @Documented
> @Retention(RUNTIME)
> @Target(ElementType.METHOD)
> public @interface ShouldThrowException {
>    Class<? extends Exception> value() default Exception.class;
> }
> {code}
> (Alternatively, the default can be Throwable.class, though the value of least surprise is likely Exception.class).
