I wasn't suggesting "removing" a feature, just disabling one via a compiler flag. But I guess it's a no-go.

Not sure if this is a Project Coin thing, but has anyone thought about a compiler flag to turn off checked exceptions?  I'm sure everyone knows the arguments against checked exceptions, I'd love to have the ability to just turn them off so I don't have to wrap them in RuntimeExceptions. Not sure what the implications of this are..... thoughts?

From the proposal form on the Project Coin homepage: The proposal must not remove existing features of the language; for example, "Get rid of checked exceptions" would not be considered. http://openjdk.java.net/projects/coin/ -Joe
