IOError seems to be an unchecked excpetion, whereas IOException was checked.

Is this why it was developed? To change from a rigorous checked excpetion to a looser unchecked exception for IO errors? If so is this not a dangerous thing to do? Surely all IO errors chould be checked?

What would such a situation be? What methods might throw this error?

The new IOError class was defined in combination with the
new java.io.Console class. It’s for use in situations where
an unrecoverable I/O error occurs and the most appropriate
response is to terminate the program rather than attempt to
handle the exception.

The IOError class, along with many other enhancements, will
be documented in the forthcoming Mustang maintenance review
in the JCP.
