Question

I am writting a basic gui with some buttons, and my instance of my guimain class is called guimain.

I have imported this project to another computer and after this change eclispe crys that:
unhandeled exception surround with:

try {
maingui.showStart();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

I tried to clean the project, but I even get this mistake at my old laptop. Therefore I am looking for a solution to prove maingui for exceptions, so that I do not have to worry everytime I use it.

I appreciate your answer!!!

Answer 1

Java requires that if its possible your method raises a checked exception you

1. either declare the method to throw the exception
   or
2. handle the exception in your method.

This doesn’t sound like an eclipse issue, but rather a java compiler telling you you have to surrond with a try catch (2 above) or update your method declaration to throw the exception (1 above)
