Answer 1

Here are couple of interesting information for checked and against Checked Exceptions. Brian Goetz discussion and an argument of against checked exceptions from Eckel Discussion. But I did not know if you have already implemented and given a thought about the checked exception refactor that is discussed by Joshua in this book.

According the Effective Java pearls, one of the preferred method of handling Checked exceptions is to turn a checked exception into an Un-Checked Exception. So for example,

try{
obj.someAction()
}catch(CheckedException excep){
}

change this implementation to

if(obj.canThisOperationBeperformed){
obj.someAction()
}else{
// Handle the required Exception.
}
