Default Java exception handling code generated by Eclipse

Question

The default exception handling code generated by Eclipse looks as follows:

try {
    methodThrowsACheckedException();
} catch (SomeCheckedException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Would it not be better if Eclipse generated the following code instead?

try {
    methodThrowsACheckedException();
} catch (SomeCheckedException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
}

You can configure eclipse to do that its your choice . Check Code Template-> Catch Block Body in Preferences->Java->Code style
