What do people think are best and worst examples of use of exceptions
in the Java software today?

Throwing as well as handling. Caught as well as uncaught.

Are there any good guidelines/best practices/patterns for when to throw
caught and uncaught exceptions and how to handle them?

Hi!

I enjoyed this article:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/exceptions/

Though the follow-up lack a little something ... practicality,
probably:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/exceptions2/

But the best advice I've seen is the final paragraph from here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/runtime.html
