JDBC is an example of an API that abuses checked exceptions.

For example:

   java.sql.ResultSet.close() throws a checked exception
 
   java.sql.Connection.close() throws a checked exception

It is interesting to compare Sun's JDBC API versus Sun's new JDO API.

The JDO API uses a radically different approach for exception handling.

In JDO, all JDO exceptions derive from javax.jdo.JDOException

javax.jdo.JDOException is an unchecked exception (it extends
java.lang.RuntimeException)

I compiled a list of resources that discuss exception handling 
techniques and strategies:
