Java terminology: "throw" vs "raise"
807603Feb 12 2008 — edited Feb 12 2008Is there any subtle difference between the terms "raise" and "throw" when talking about exceptions?
The jvm-spec for instance uses both:
from: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/Instructions2.doc6.html
"+Otherwise, an AbstractMethodError is raised.+"
from http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/Instructions2.doc.html
"+If objectref is null, athrow throws a NullPointerException instead of objectref.+"
