JAV2I12 — Exception mapping needs fixing

Open Closed All
  • Key: JAV2I12-19

  • Summary:

    When I have Java exceptions called

    foo
    fooException
    fooError

    they all get mapped to the exception fooEx causing collisions.

    I am not sure what the fix should be so I'll dump my thoughts here...

    The correct fix for this probably should be:

    foo -> fooEx
    fooException -> fooExcp
    fooError -> fooEr

    However, given that that would not be backward compatible, another solution
    would be

    All exceptions map to the Ex suffix. Each collision adds an _ (underscore) at
    the end, if there is a collision.

    However, this has problem with the name changing depending on which exception
    gets processed first, and the resultant definitions are not deterministic.

    Any other ideas?
