[java-gnome-hackers] Native error handling

[Tom B. <Tom...@Su...>]

The various GNOME error and warning messages that get displayed to the
console were bothering me, so I implemented log handlers for the
libraries we use.  These handlers throw a RuntimeException with the
error message inside.  

Is something like this of interest to you folks?  Regardless of what
gets designed, we need some sort of error reporting strategy.  I like
using RuntimeExceptions because they are easier for an application
writer to manage than log handlers (just add a catch block).  Another
option is some sort of Error event and listener, but then errors would
get reported after the offending method invocation, rather than during
it.
