Exception Handling

[avandeursen]

Currently, incorrect configuration can throw IOException and IllegalArgumentException, which in some cases are wrapped into RuntimeException.

My proposal is to introduce one top level checked PacmanConfigurationException, which can replace/wrap the existing exceptions.

A PacmanConfigurationException class sounds nice. 👍 But I'm not so sure about making it checked. It sounds like it's an Exception from which you cannot recover, in which case you're just littering your code.

Also see "The Java Programming Language (page 60)

Unchecked exceptions represent conditions that, generally speaking, reflect errors in your program's logic and cannot be reasonably recovered from at run time
