Created August 10, 2016 14:07
ExceptionUtils provides a static method that will throw a checked exception as if it were a runtime exception. You can use this to catch and re-throw a checked exception without wrapping it in a RuntimeException and muddying up the stack trace.
public class ExceptionUtils {
public static void throwException(Exception ex) {
if (ex instanceof RuntimeException) throw (RuntimeException)ex;
try {
synchronized (CheckedExceptionThrower.class) {
CheckedExceptionThrower.exception = ex;
CheckedExceptionThrower.class.newInstance();
}
} catch (InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException e) {

launchd script to keep OPML editor running

Copy the plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents then run

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.scripting.opml.plist

This plist assumes that OPML Editor is installed in /Applications/OPML. If you have it installed in a different location, you will need to modify line 13 of the plist.

The OPML Editor should launch. It will re-launch within 10 seconds if it quits for whatever reason.

killall OPML
