Hi

Why is it that I have to handle and declare an exception if I am re-throwing it in a catch block as opposed to just handle or declare which is the usual case?

Look on “or” as meaning, “inclusive or” rather than, “inclusive or”.
Consider that your new Exception which you are throwing is different from that you are catching, so it needs a new declaration.

Hmm.. That explains it.
