1. Given:

	/**
	 * @param value the parameter value
	 * @param name  the parameter name
	 * @return the BigInteger representation of the parameter
	 * @throws NumberFormatException if value is not a valid representation of BigInteger
	 */
	private static BigInteger requireBigInteger(String value, String name)
		throws NumberFormatException
	{
		try
		{
			return new BigInteger(value);
		}
		catch (NumberFormatException e)
		{
			throw (NumberFormatException) new NumberFormatException("Invalid " + name + ": " + value).
				initCause(e);
		}
	}

2. Netbeans annotates the line containing the throw statement with: "Type cast to NumberFormatException is too strong. RuntimeException should be used instead" which is incorrect.
