bjc-utils2.git/base/src/main/java/bjc/utils/exceptions/UnknownPragma.java, branch trunk Miscellaneous utilities and support code Rename exceptions to not use Exception 2020-10-06T23:26:52+00:00 Ben Culkin scorpress@gmail.com 2020-10-06T23:26:52+00:00 a7a87f682a039d4761112f1dedb9351f3d7a2bbf This renames several of the stock exceptions to remove 'Exception' from their name. This is something that I don't recall where I picked it up from, but the idea is that the fact that it is an exception is generally syntactically obvious. Therefore, you can instead give your exceptions names which directly state what it wrong, as well as strongly implying what you can do to fix it. For instance, if you get a DirectionInvalid, it is apparent what the issue is (it is less apparent why it is invalid, but that is another issue, and a discussion for another time)
