I believe, perhaps mistakenly, that you are referring mainly to
statements you made which I'll paraphrase as "if I change the throws
declaration of a method, the compiler will flag that". What I have
since shown, partly in response, is that in the general case, you are
quite mistaken -- dangerously so.

(Mostly because the regexp facilities in (quasi-)standard Java
packages suck. :-)
I'm not sure what the referent of "it" is in "take my word for it" and
haven't seen any evidence of why I should take your word about much
related to Java or about my revenues.
Overall, I guess your point is that you don't have one?

As to whether I'm "one of those guys that really need to be right?"
No, I'm not -- but I am one of those guy who doesn't much tolerate
things that are Wrong. But I don't mind batting them about a bit
until they bleed out. Sometimes they twitch in interesting ways.
