# Overview
A plugin that adds errors / hints / quickfix related to checked exceptions for kotlin.
The reason for this is that kotlin by itself, is an amazing language, but it have taken som actions regarding
exceptions, especially that no exception is checked.
Although with alright reasoning why this is the case, this leaves a "hole" in which in java, exceptions are to be
handled as they are "part" of an expected flow, which is to say, handling these exceptions are a lot more required than
the "original" idea that we should avoid exceptions in regular code flows.
So for the more robust programming, we are to handle checked exceptions, but since either the compiler nor the IDEA IDE
shows, even allows you to know about declared throws (from both java & kotlin), you are quite in a world of hurt when
integrating with , say java, or people who use exceptions. So instead to force people into looking every exception up,
this plugin is there to try to fill this hole.
Please be aware, this is NOT an encouragement to use exceptions everywhere and generally speaking going against the
kotlin language design chooses, but to AID in the practical difficulty that arises when interacting with systems that
have a given expectation that is simply not met, nor informed.
