[one-users] Java OCA: poor choiche of Exception class

[Gian Uberto Lauri]

Hello, I just started to use  OCA and immediately had the bad surprise
to find an "Exception" thrown by Client class instantiation.

Peeking in the code, I discovered that the Client class throws it when
it does not  find two mandatory resources, the $ONE_AUTH  file and the
SHA-1 algorithm.

In my  (not so) humble  opinion, the use of  the raw Exception  is not
meaningful enought, the  use of a OneSetupException would  have add NO
testing or correctness  complication and could be more  useful for the
coder.

Furthermore, I think  these are Errors, not Exceptions  since you have
no way to recover from one with  a try/catch, you have to stop the VM,
correct the setup and restart.

Should I fill  an update request/provide a contribution  or there's no
chanche that this will enter in the code ?
