David Smiley commented on LUCENE-7470:
--------------------------------------
This is awesome; nice work Rob! My pet peeve bug pattern is ignoring/masking
root exceptions -- happens all too often. I wish javac had this built in.
If this is added to Lucene, I guess SpecialMethod.java with it's static list of
known boxing methods etc. would need to load it's list from perhaps a simple
file on the classpath?
I wonder if this might go to some place where it would be used more broadly?
e.g. FindBugs After all... why should only Lucene have all the fun?

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
>
> [~rcmuir] created a nice tool to look at the Java bytecode to determine
> whether e.g. a {{finally}} or {{catch}} clause may ignore the original root
> cause exception, here:
> https://github.com/rmuir/elasticsearch/tree/catchAnalyzer
> It's a fork of ES but I think maybe we can extract it and use it in Lucene.
> Unlike Python, Java unfortunately does not seem to have safeguards against
> exceptionally handling code accidentally losing the original exception.
