IllegalCatch extension.

Hi,

The IllegalCatch check determines if a catch block is trapping generic
exceptions, such as Exception, Error, RuntimeException, and Throwable.

I'd like to enable this check. However, there are cases when Exception
must be caught by the programmer. This often occurs when using
third-party libraries whose methods throw Exception, such as the
Velocity.mergeTemplate() method.

Is it possible for the check to be extended such that an event isn't
trigger if the try block throws Exception? I don't know if that
information is available to the check.

Until then, I'll use a suppression filter.

Thanks,
Emerson
