How to not throw a generically specified exception?

GhostCat salutes Monica C. :

I created a "producer" interface (to be used with method references, respectively to be easily mocked for unit tests):

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Factory<R, T, X extends Throwable> {
    public R newInstanceFor(T t) throws X;
}

which I created like that, as my first use case actually had to throw some checked WhateverException.

But my second use case doesn't have an X to throw.

The best I could come up with to make the compiler happy is:

Factory<SomeResultClass, SomeParameterClass, RuntimeException> factory;

That compiles, and does what I need, but still ugly. Is there a way to keep that single interface, but not provide an X when declaring specific instances?

The only way to do it is subclassing - but I bet you knew that. To make my argument stronger, look at BinaryOperator that extends BiFunction.
