How about

        NotYetImplementedException extends UnsupportedOperationException

then to distinguish between the above cases? IMHO, it would be quite useful 
for the project being able to say "we are able to run any JDK 1.2 programme". 
A script that has to know about which method might throw 
UnsupportedOperationException and which shouldn't could never be really 
reliable.


Cheers,

        Andy.
