Java Thread: Run method cannot throw checked exception

Question

In Java thread, the \'run\' method cannot throw a \'checked exception\'. I came across this in the Core Java (vol 1) book. Can someone please explain the reasoning behind i

Answer 1

The more obvious solution to the previous answers is that if you throw a checked exception, you are not correctly implementing run() as specified in the runnable interface.

It won't even compile:

run() in TestClass cannot implement run() in java.lang.Runnable; 
overridden method does not throw java.lang.Exception
