ExceptionSoftener can lead to ClassCastException about cyclops-integration HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks Nikita. There's a little bit of compiler trickier going on here. Possibly there are some cases which we have missed. I'm not sure if you have found a failing test or are analysiing the code. I've added a unit test with a few passing examples - you can take a look here : https://github.com/aol/cyclops/blob/master/cyclops-invokedynamic/src/test/java/com/aol/cyclops/invokedynamic/ExceptionSoftenerTest.java

from cyclops-integration.

I was analysing the code. I think that JUnit interpret resulting exception as class which was set in "expected" attribute. Almost all of your test are expecting other types of exception (except runtime), so if any code will try to interpret result of throwSoftenedException as RuntimeException - it will fail.

I wrote additional testcase
http://pastebin.com/TDCz3tyr
which is failing. You can see that result of throwSoftenedException is of class IOException, so it isn't RuntimeException.

Yeah it doesn't actually create a RuntimeException, it just makes the compiler treat a checked Exception as an unchecked on. I think Throwables in Guava might behave in the way you are expecting.
