It does not make sense to me. If an exception is only used in package foo, it should be defined in that package. If it is used in foo.one and foo.bar, maybe it belongs in foo. YMMV. But kitchen-sink package for all exceptions does not seem like good design to me. 2c, Gary > -- commons-math util (numerous classes) > > Otherwise it is self-contained.
