I just don't understand why people use the try-catch on calling a method that will throw exceptions just to ONLY re-throw it again, what would you do that for? :(

    Leftover code suppose. Only reasonable option would perhaps be a log statement

    At least thats better than catching the exception and not doing anything to it, with the intention that the program will not work at a later point when it becomes a problem. I've seen that.

    To get rid of IDE warnings?

    It can be useful if the problem sucks you and requires time for research. I once used it on production when fed up reading those errorlogs and just catch err and made the variable unused :P

    @Eklavya Then in code review I'd reckon you add a todo statement
