    Question checked or unchecked exception when Throwable is extended

    Hi
    Suppose a user defined exception class, say UserExcp is created by extending the Throwable class.
    What type of exception it will be checked or unchecked and why?

    Default Re: checked or unchecked exception when Throwable is extended

    I wouldn't consider it either, it is not an exception if it does not extend the Exception class.

    However, it must be handled accordingly (i.e. surrounded with a try/catch block or use a throws declaration, same as a checked exception).
