public class ServiceException
extends RuntimeException

A base exception type that is used by many OneBusAway service methods. I decided to make this base exception a sub-class of RuntimeException, which means that you do no have to explicitly wrap calls to methods that throw ServiceException with catch or with throws. There is a lot of debate about that behavior in the Java community. Generally speaking, if errors are non-recoverable, the convention is to make them a runtime exception. However, there are definitely a number of uses of ServiceException and its subclasses that are recoverable. Perhaps some refactoring is in order?
