It throws a ImmutablePropertyException which extends
IllegalStateException.

Sure. It's a little bit verbose :)

That's nice : it avoids an additional class and the associated import,
but "check" may be to imprecise in the context of "ExceptionUtil". So
what about something like "checkImmutable()" for the first one ? The
second is a simple assertion, so what about an "assertTrue()" (until the
whole world uses JDK 1.4) ?
