[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Messaging on JBoss (Messaging/JBoss)] - Justification for "throws Throwable"

[timfox]

A few of the older methods in the core are declared as "throws Throwable".

I have been told there was some reason for doing this but that reason seems to have been lost in the mists of time.

Declaring as throws Throwable forces the caller to handle RuntimeExceptions and Errors.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
