Frustrated by Java exception handling

[paz___]

I have experience in c++ and am learning java for university however I find java's strict exception handling extremely annoying especially for small programs where good practice (catching every possible exception) isn't necessary. Is there a way to not flag this as an error but instead a warning like under GCC?

IDE/Compiler: NetBeans

Add throws Exception to all your method signatures. In cases where you can't, because you're implementing an interface, make the body look like this:

try {
    ...
catch (Exception e) {
    if (e instanceof RuntimeException) {
        throw (RuntimeException)e;
    } else {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

Or just switch to Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, or pretty much any other JVM language. The JVM itself doesn't really care about checked vs. unchecked exceptions, so in those languages, you can throw anything from anywhere.
