Elliotte Rusty Harold created MDEP-980:
------------------------------------------
Summary: ConstantPoolParser throws raw RuntimeException
Key: MDEP-980
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-980
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
from parseConstantPoolClassReferences which is reading external data (.class
files specifically) so this really should be a checked exception, but even if
we leave it a runtime exception it should be a more semantically meaningful
subclass per Effective Java. Maybe something like java.io.InvalidClassException?
Furthermore, it's a bug because the code in visitClass that ultimately invokes
this private method does not catch RuntimeException, only more specific
subclasses like IllegalArgumenException.
