DoNotThrowExceptionInFinally


DoNotThrowExceptionInFinally
[
			      Throwing exception in a finally block is confusing. It may mask exception or a defect of the code,
			      it also render code cleanup uninstable.
			Note: This is a PMD implementation of the Lint4j rule "A throw in a finally block"
			
		
		
		
		    
    			This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
    			
    			
    			    
//FinallyStatement[descendant::ThrowStatement]
			          
			  
  
		    
		    
	    
	    
        
        
        Example:
            
                    
    		
				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();
						}
					}
				}
