		<description><![CDATA[I have strong opinions when it comes to checked vs unchecked exceptions, as do many other people all over the interwebz.

		<description><![CDATA[Java comes with a built-in logging system java.util.logging which is really quite good. It is very simple to use, highly customisable at runtime and offers incredible extensibility. However, by default it doesn&#8217;t allow you to specify the format of your logging messages and this tends to make people angry (the default setting is to print [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not a fan of methods that accept null and I can find very few reasons for ever wanting to return null.
