Is there a list of convenience factory methods where constructors throw checked exceptions?
<p>The constructor for URI throws a checked URISyntaxException (see <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URI.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URI.html</a>), but it also provide a handy URI.create() factory method that translates that into an unchecked IllegalArgumentException. The intention being that it's suitable for URI constants that are know to be correct at compile time. I was trying to find a list of similar methods, but I've been unsuccessful. Are there an such lists?</p>
