Checked to Unchecked Exception

[Xon Bhuyan]

I read somewhere like :
"If a checked exception doesn�t make sense to you do not hesitate to convert it into unchecked exception ....."

How do you convert a checked exception, say IOException into unchecked Exception ?

[Srinivasa Raghavan]

I guess that line was ment for custom exception classes.
To create a unchecked exception a class should inherit RuntimeException.

try{
  // someone throws a IOException...
}
catch(IOException ioe{
  // if this is a reason, why you can not continue your work, or wathever
  throw new RuntimeException("Your error message", ioe);
  // or
  // throw new RuntimeException(ioe.getMessage());
}
