DoNotThrowExceptionInFinally

Throwing exceptions within a ‘finally’ block is confusing since they may mask other exceptions or code defects. Note: This is a PMD implementation of the Lint4j rule “A throw in a finally block”


			    
//FinallyStatement[descendant::ThrowStatement]
			          
			
Example(s):


    		
public class Foo {
	public void bar() {
		try {
			// Here do some stuff
		} catch( Exception e) {
			// Handling the issue
		} finally {
			// is this really a good idea ?
			throw new Exception();
		}
	}
}
