Description

Maintaining a consistent link between the caught variable and the exception thrown in the corresponding try block brings clarity and predictability. Reassigning the caught variable disrupts this expectation and can lead to confusion. By refraining from these reassignments, developers can know that the variable encapsulates the essence of the original exception.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

public class Foo {
    public void foo() {
        try {
            // do something
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e = new NullPointerException(); // should not reassign here
        }
    }
}

Compliant Code Examples

public class Foo {
    public void foo() {
        try {
            // do something
        } catch (MyException e) {
            newError = new RuntimeException(); // created a new error variable
        }
    }
}
