Which is precisely why I engaged the community with pointers on the jboss-development list and a "Getting Started" Wiki months before even the first release. Part of this is "planning for change", so "Alpha" denotes we can make these types of adjustments before locking down. I'll look into the rest later on, but I doubt you'll be able to convince me that it's a bad idea to declare an unchecked exception . No bad can come of it, and it's self documenting. Actually there's a few generics issues I have patches for in jboss-bootstrap anyway, but didn't merge them in yet as to not slow down this release.
