I have this code: ```auto @SuppressWarnings("serial") class TooManyRootsException extends RuntimeException { /** * Creates an exception with the given message. * * @param message The message to be shown. */ public TooManyRootsException(String message) { super(message); } } ``` Sonarlint gives me a false positive for rule java:S2166 “Classes named like “Exception” should extend “Exception” or a subclass”. If I remove the “Exception” part of the name, Sonarlint does not give the a positive. Why is that? ---

Hi, I’m not able to reproduce in SonarLint Eclipse with just this code snippet. Can you tell us what is your IDE, what is your SonarLint version, and if you are using connected mode, what is the version of the Java analyzer installed on the SonarQube server? ---

IDE: Eclipse Version: 5.0 Not sure what the rest means, I installed it from the Eclipse Marketplace. Hope that helps. ---

> [@LoadingBG](#): > > Not sure what the rest means If you don’t know what is connected mode, then you are certainly not using it 🙂. Could you please follow those steps: - open the SonarLint console (in Eclipse console view) - enable verbose + analysis logs - clear the console - close and reopen the offending file (TooManyRootsException.java) - copy paste the logs produced in the console by the analysis It might be useful to read the [FAQ](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/frequently-asked-questions/7204) first, but if one step is not clear, let me know. ---

Thanks, I see nothing suspicious here. I also tried to use a JDK 13 as target, but I’m still unable to reproduce. Is your code snippet a single class? Or an inner class of a bigger file? Can you also double check that the inherited class is really `java.lang.RuntimeException` and not something else in a different package? ---

It is a normal class from a bigger project. Even when specifing `java.lang.RuntimeException` the positive persists. ---

Hum, I start to be out of ideas. Can you try to create a new project in Eclipse, with only this class, and see if the false positive is still there? This is to find if the issue is specific to your project, or to your environment. ---

It’s still positive. ---

Then I have no idea. On, my side it is working fine (Windows, SonarLint 5.0 as well): ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/sonarsource/uploads/sonarcommunity/original/2X/2/2ed72c2d2ad2ebfc3d73fb1f22792ef2a1649aee.png) I will try with a JDK 13 but I don’t see why it would make any difference. Can you share a reproducer (sample project zipped)? ---

I opened your project and no issues for me. One thing I forgot to ask, is what is the JVM you are using to start Eclipse? You can check by opening Help -\> About Eclipse -\> Installation Details -\> Configuration ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/sonarsource/uploads/sonarcommunity/original/2X/8/836258d8a91da8690703cd4d8fe726c37fe064d0.png) ---

Perfect, that was the missing part of the puzzle 🙂 I am now able to reproduce. We will investigate and I will keep you posted. You can also follow this ticket: [https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLE-348](https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLE-348) ---

I forgot to say one workaround in the meantime is to [run Eclipse with a more recent JDK](https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#-vm_value:_Windows_Example). ---

That fixed it actually.
