I was curious as to know how come, in a book strictly about API design in Java, you do not mention exceptions (particular checked exceptions) and the role they play in documenting assertions vs. hampering versionability. Did you simply think this to be too controversial an issue I wonder?

Interesting question. My guess is that I never had problems following suggestions related to usage of exceptions provided by others. I used exceptions in many ways in my APIs and as far as I can tell they evolve like other classes. The other area is usage of exceptions in own method definitions and here one needs to optimize for the understanding of users of the API. That is vague statement, but I do not have any practical advices ready now. I'll think about it in future. Thanks for your comment.
