If you have any code that might throw a checked exception, you must either enclose it in a try/catch clause that handles that potential exception, or must declare the checked exception in a throws clause in the containing method. Basically, the compiler will check that you do that with code that potentially throws checked exceptions. The compiler doesn't care about unchecked exceptions.
All code in my posts, unless a source is explicitly mentioned, is my own.
