Java Exceptions

1 question, most-asked first.

  • What is the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions?

    Checked exceptions are enforced by the compiler; unchecked ones are not. The interesting question is not the definition but why every major Java framework since 2004 has moved to unchecked exceptions — and lambdas finished the argument in Java 8.
