[wildfly-dev] Return types of i18n logging methods and their "equality" expectations

[James R. Perkins]

Not that wouldn't work. Each invocation of fooBar() will return a new 
instance of SomeException.

Why not just do

try {
     doSomething();
} catch (SomeException e) {
     // handle
} catch (Exception e) {
     // do something else
}
