In C# all exceptions are runtime exceptions, but in Java you have runtime exceptions and checked exceptions, that you have to either catch, or declare in your methods. If you call any method that has a "throws" at the end, you have to either catch the exceptions mentioned there, or your method has to also declare those exceptions.

Java Articles usually just print the stack trace or have a comment because the exception handling is irrelevant to the article's subject matter. In projects though, something should be done about it, depending on the type of exception.
